For the past 45 years, I have been engaged in fundamental research in spectroscopy. During this time, as a faculty member at a national university and as a researcher at a third-sector research institute, I have received significant research funding from public tax revenues. Fortunately, I have achieved considerable results academically and have barely managed to fulfill the expectations of society.

However, from the perspective of applying academic achievements to society, there are some regrets. Many new spectroscopic insights we have gained through fundamental research have not reached practical application sites, despite their potential.

Spectroscopic Science Lab was established to bridge this gap between fundamental research and application, in collaboration with my research colleagues. Although organized as a corporation, we are not solely profit-driven. We position our activities as a business necessary to secure the funds required for continued research and development, with "contribution of basic science to society" as our motto.

We are confident in solving various on-site problems using the latest spectroscopy techniques. We look forward to fruitful collaboration with you.
