The facilities at OMT Solutions include spectrophotometers and tools that enable us to perform various optical measurements in a wavelength range between 175 nm and 56,000 nm, covering the entire solar energy and thermal radiation range.
Based on many years of experience and knowledge on performing measurements on the highest possible level of accuracy, using techniques and tools that we have developed ourselves, we are able to offer not only our services as a measurement laboratory but also offer to build customized solutions for our customers that are interested in performing these state–of-the-art measurements themselves.
Brief History
1995: The Optical Measurements & Testing group (OMT) is founded as part of the Coating Technology Department of the Materials Division of TNO Science & Industry May 2008: The private company OMT Solutions BV is founded
In our lab and cleanroom we have a range of spectrophotometers, spectrophotometer accessories, custom made measurement setups and solutions to measure the optical properties of all kind of materials under different circumstances (cryogenic temperatures, very high temperatures, vacuum, different angles of incidence etc.).

Optical material characterisation is needed at different conditions. We developed several setups to perform optical measurements from cryogenic temperatures up to melting temperatures of glass. Read more
The Upward Looking 270 mm Integration Sphere Accessory (UL270) is a unique accessory that allows accurate transmittance and reflectance measurement of diffuse and patterned samples. Read more
The use of light-diffusing materials such as patterned cover glasses used in solar cells and textured/coated glasses used in buildings and greenhouses is increasing. In solar cell applications, patterned glass captures and traps the light better within the structure ensuring maximum cell efficiency. Read more
The ARTA is a fully automated spectral goniometer tool that uses an integrating sphere as detector to measure directional Reflectance and transmittance in the solar wavelength range. The ARTA transforms a spectrophotometer into a flexible and accurate tool for Variable Angle Spectrophotometry for thin film analysis. Read more
Our Cryogenic Optical Test facility has the capability for measuring the refractive index of materials with accuracies up to 10-6 at temperatures in the range of 35K – 400 K and wavelengths in the range of 250 nm – 25,000 nm, using different spectrophotometers. Read more
We have been responsible for developing and producing unique spectrophotometer accessories and other optical measurement solutions for customers all over the world. Depending on the complexity of the solution, we generally require only 4 – 6 months to deliver a tailor made solution for your problem. Read more
At OMT Solutions, we specialize in delivering tailor-made tools and measurement solutions for optical material characterization — empowering innovation across research and industry. Read more
Our LSRT is a unique spectrophotometer accessory that is intended for performing Reflectance and Transmittance measurements on very large toughened glass panes and car windows (bended glass). Read more
We have been responsible for developing and producing unique spectrophotometer accessories and other optical measurement solutions for customers all over the world. Depending on the complexity of the solution, we generally require only 4 – 6 months to deliver a tailor made solution for your problem. We developed spectrophotometry accessories for measuring absolute reflection on highly reflecting samples, not only at near-normal incidence but also at oblique incidence for incident angles up to more than 80 degrees. The accessories are designed for use with a high-performance UV/Vis/NIR industrial spectrophotometer and are widely used for the accurate characterization of mirrors and other optical components.

The use of light-diffusing samples such as patterned cover glasses used in solar cells and textured/coated glasses used in buildings and greenhouses is increasing.
For the Glass Industry the photovoltaic market offers great potential. At the beginning of this century, the glass industry has launched new types of patterned glazing specially dedicated to photovoltaic applications.
The ability to accurately measure the transmission and reflection properties of these materials is a key requirement in the development and manufacture of high efficiency solar cells and light-diffusing glazing. Read more
In our lab and cleanroom we have a range of spectrophotometers, spectrophotometer accessories, custom made measurement setups and solutions to measure the optical properties of all kind of materials under different circumstances (cryogenic temperatures, very high temperatures, vacuum, different angles of incidence etc.) Read more
We determine Visible light, solar properties and thermal radiation properties of a double glazing unit determined according to EN, ISO and NFRC standards. Read more
OMT Solutions offers calibration services for optical components. Our reference mirrors for the solar wavelength range (250-2500 nm) and the infrared range (range 2.5µm – 50 µm) are worldwide used by different R&D companies and institutes. Read more
This year we developed and delivered the first IR TAMS accessories. Reflectance and Transmittance measurements at different angles of incidence in the IR region when combined with a Perkinelmer FTIR instrument [Source and picture: Serge Timmermans on linkedin.com]
