01
Miniature spectroscopy
Chip-scale spectrometers and calibration pipelines that bring laboratory accuracy to handheld devices.
Independent research group · Est. 2019
Measuring the world,
one photon at a time.
We design compact optical sensors, spectroscopy methods and open measurement tools for environmental monitoring and industrial quality control.

Research areas
Three programs, one goal: precise measurements that are cheap enough to be everywhere.
02
Environmental sensing
Low-power optical nodes for air and water quality, designed for years of unattended field operation.
03
Signal processing
Noise-robust algorithms for weak optical signals, from lock-in techniques to learned denoising.
Selected projects
A few things we are currently working on or have recently released.
Prism
Open reference design for a pocket spectrometer with a documented calibration workflow.
Lumen-Net
Mesh of solar-powered turbidity sensors for small rivers and reservoirs.
Quill
Python library for baseline correction and peak fitting of spectral data.
Aurora Bench
Modular optical test bench built from off-the-shelf parts and 3D-printed mounts.
About the lab
Newreal Lab is a small, independent group of physicists and engineers. We build instruments, publish our methods and share designs so that others can reproduce and improve them.
Our work is funded by research grants, collaborations with partner institutes and a limited number of industry projects. Everything we can release, we release openly.
- Open by defaultDesigns, code and datasets are published under permissive licenses.
- ReproducibleEvery result ships with the data and scripts that produced it.
- PracticalWe test in the field, not just on the bench.
