海洋光学是英国豪迈国际有限公司（Halma ）的子公司。

海洋光学总部设于美国佛罗里达州的Dunedin市，佛罗里达的海洋光学公司是世界领先的光传感和光谱技术解决方案提供商，为您提供测量和研究光与物质之间相互作用的先进技术。海洋光学的产品可以应用于材料分析，环境检测，科学教育以及娱乐业灯光效果等众多领域。公司拥有庞大的产品线，包括光谱仪，化学传感器，计量仪器，光纤，薄膜和光学元件等等。海洋光学也是世界公认的微型光纤光谱仪的发明者，自1989年以来，在全球范围内共售出了超过约10万套光谱仪。

为了积极主动地服务好亚洲地区不断增长的市场和客户需求，海洋光学已经于2007年5月24日在中国上海成立了海洋光学亚洲分公司。这只精干的应用，软件，维修和销售工程队伍，为海洋光学的光学传感，光纤光谱仪器及生物光学技术产品在亚洲提供本地化的销售，服务和技术支持。

公司提供完整的产品线，包括：各种微型光纤光谱仪器，光纤传感器，采样配件，光源，光纤，探头，薄膜及光学元件。除了专业的技术支持外，办事处还设有一个完整的产品演示实验室和全面的应用数据库，为亚洲客户提供立足于本土的各项保修服务和培训机会。

正如海洋光学的奠基人即总裁麦克摩里斯先生所解释的：“Ocean Optics 亚洲分部是我们全球覆盖链条的最后一环。这样再加上我们在佛罗里达州Dunedinde的总部，在荷兰Duiven市的Ocean Optics BV(欧洲)，和德国Ostfildern市的Mikropack, 我们可以实现每天24小时的全球服务的宗旨了！

Ocean Optics is a leading supplier of solutions for optical sensing – fundamental methods of measuring and interpreting the interaction of light with matter. We enable diverse applications in medical and biological research, environmental monitoring, life science, science education, and entertainment lighting and display. Our extensive line of complementary technologies includes spectrometers, chemical sensors, metrology instrumentation, optical fibers, and thin films and optics. Recognized as the inventor of miniature fiber optic spectroscopy, we’ve sold almost 100,000 spectrometers worldwide since 1992. Ocean Optics is part of the Halma Group of safety and detection companies, a United Kingdom-based multinational corporation with 2003 sales of nearly $550 million.
Spectroscopic techniques supported include:
UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy 
On-line spectroscopy 
Spectroradiometry 
Color spectroscopy 
Raman spectroscopy 
Fluorescence spectroscopy 
Fiber optic chemical sensing 
Spectral modeling 
Spectral imaging 
Background
Ocean Optics began in 1989, when University of Florida researchers developed a fiber optic pH sensor as part of an instrument designed to study the role of the oceans in global warming. They soon formed Ocean Optics, Inc., and their ingenious work earned a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. While designing the pH-monitoring instrument, the researchers wanted to incorporate with their sensor a spectrometer small enough to fit onto a buoy and were surprised to discover none existed. So, they built their own. In 1992, the founders of Ocean Optics filled a substantial need in the research community and changed the science of spectroscopy forever by creating a breakthrough technology: a miniature fiber optic spectrometer nearly 1,000 times smaller at 1/10 the cost of previous systems.
By April 1992, just 30 days after the successful completion of Phase II of the SBIR grant, Ocean Optics, Inc. introduced the S1000 -- "The World's First Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer." As a result of the dramatic reduction in size and cost of optical sensing systems, applications once deemed too costly or technologically impractical using conventional spectrometers were not only feasible, but practical.
Now almost 15 years later, we've placed almost 100,000 systems worldwide and enabled thousands of different applications -- from cancer detection and color matching to plasma monitoring and particle size analysis. Our spectrometers have been specified everywhere from research vessels in the Gulf of Mexico to the Mars rover.
Markets Served
Ocean Optics has developed a diversified set of manufacturing arts that are essential to components in four key photonics segments: Optical Sensing, Optical Networking, Display Optics and Biophotonics. Primary markets include consumer electronics, process control, environmental monitoring, life sciences and medical diagnostics. Our systems have been used everywhere from in vivo to the ocean floor; on the Mars Rover and the Mir space station; and in Florida's orange groves and South America's rain forests.
