Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp is a Santa Barbara-based firm focused on sub-micron infrared spectroscopy and microscopy for scientific and industrial analysis. Its approach yields infrared data at sub-micron resolution with spectra comparable to transmission-mode FTIR, achieved in a non-contact reflection mode free of scattering artifacts. The technology is paired with co-located multi-modal imaging to provide complementary information at the same location. PSC serves research and development settings across life sciences, microplastics, bioplastics, semiconductors, and other chemical and polymeric materials, addressing high-value problems for industry and academia. In early 2026, the company highlighted recognition for its work when Dr. Michael Lo received a Best Paper Award at the iMPACT 2025 conference.
