Spectrometer module
5 Jun 2014
Hamamatsu has introduced a spectrometer to its series of transmission grating (TG) based mini-spectrometers.
All of these modules consist of a palm-top size polychromator integrated with optical elements, a photodiode array optimised for the required wavelength range, together with an image sensor driver circuit.
In addition, the modules are supplied with sample software, which allows the user to set measurement conditions, acquire & save data and then display it graphically.
Use of the USB 2.0 interface means that no external power supply is required as the modules can use USB power from the PC and this, together with the compact design, allows for easy assembly into portable equipment.
The C11482GA is an improved version of Hamamatsu’s existing NIR mini-spectrometer and uses a Hamamatsu InGaAs linear image sensor to cover the spectral region of 900nm to 1700nm.
Unlike Hamamatsu’s other NIR mini-spectrometers, the C11482GA does not use cooling yet still offers superior low noise characteristics, the company claims.
