Spectrometer Features Models for the UV, VIS, or NIR Spectral Ranges (One Model Covering the Complete Range) Rugged Czerny-Turner-Spectrometer Design with No Moving Parts Auto Compensation for Dark Current Noise High-Speed USB Connection Offers up to 200 Scans per Second Trigger Input for External Synchronization (TTL) 16-Bit A/D-Converter 3648 Pixel CCD Line Array Thorlabs' series of fiber-based, compact, Czerny-Turner spectrometers comprises four models. Three are sub-nanometer resolution models that provide detection in the 200 - 400 nm*, 350 - 700 nm, or 500 - 1000 nm range. A fourth model offers a wide 200 - 1000 nm spectral range with better than 2 nm resolution. With a footprint that measures roughly the size of a pocket calculator or portable hard drive [122 mm (4.8") x 79 mm (3.11") x 29.5 mm (1.16")], the performance of these spectrometers is ideal for educational applications or fiber-based systems. Although small, the unit shares features with larger, more expensive spectrometers such as the ability to be synchronized via a TTL trigger input (up to 100 Hz) and to automatically compensate for noise created by dark current. The four models share the same design with the CCD chips, gratings, and lenses being optimized for the specified wavelength range.
