OMT Solutions BV is a R&D company situated on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. OMT Solutions offers an extensive package of products and services, such as:
• Characterization of architectural and automotive glazing
• Characterization of patterned and diffuse glass
• Calibration of reference materials
• Optical Measurements and Testing of materials for Space applications
• Variable Angle Spectroscopy
• Refractive index measurements
• Determining optical and thermal radiation properties of materials
• BRDF/BTDF measurements
• Thin Film analysis and design
• Training, Conferences & Workshops
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
For Space applications a new optical measurement setup is created to measure the refractive index at cryogenic temperatures (40K-350K) in a large wavelength range (185-15.000 nm).
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.).

OMT Solutions uses several techniques to determine the refractive index of materials. One of their unique setups is the Cryogenic Optical Test facility. This 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.

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
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
The TAMS Autosampler (fully automated and integrated in TAMS user interface) which is capable of performing measurements on a 6 inch wafer at different positions when installed in a TAMS (L6310240) accessory. Multi-sampling by placing a holder for 19 x 1 inch samples or 5 x 2 inch.
Concentrated solar power – CSP – has the potential to bring energy to remote areas of the world. The heat of the sun is reflected off rows of mirrors onto a central tower, transforming water into steam and turning a turbine which then generates electricity. Read more [Source: euronews]

Last week we delivered a High Temperature reflectance accessory. This is a custom designed 150 mm integrating sphere accessory for reflectance measurements in the wavelength range 250-2500 nm with sample heater with temperature controller.
Launched on 13 October, the Sentinel-5P satellite has delivered its first images of air pollution. Even though the satellite is still being prepared for service, these first results have been hailed as exceptional and show how this latest Copernicus satellite is set to take the task of monitoring air quality into a new era.
This new mission promises to image air pollutants in more detail than ever before. And, while these first results demonstrate the sophistication of the satellite’s instrument, they certainly bring the issue of air pollution sharply into focus. Read more [Source: esa.int]
Solar power is considered a sustainable energy source. But just how sustainable are CSP plants (CSP = Concentrated solar power) really? And what can be done to make them more sustainable? Read more
Recently the WASCOP ( “Water Saving for Concentrated Solar Power”) project of the European Horizon 2020 program started and with a significant participation of OMT Solutions.
