The USB Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer,
is a revolutionary small plug-and-play spectrometer and features
these key innovations:
o Simplified spectrometer-computer interface -- Plugs directly into
Universal Serial Bus port of any desktop or notebook PC.
o Miniature modular design -- Choose from 2 detectors, 14 gratings,
6 slits and hundreds of accessories to optimize a system for your
application.o Streamlined start-up -- Automatically reads the wavelength
calibration coefficients of the spectrometer and
configures spectrometer operating software.
o No external power requirements -- Spectrometer draws its power
from the computer.o In the standard version the spectral area reaches
from 200 - 850 nm Facilitated Operation
Setting up the USB Spectrometer is easy. The user simply installs
the latest version of OOIBase32 Spectrometer
Operating Software onto any desktop or notebook PC with Windows
98/Me/2000/XP operating system and then
connects the USB cable from the spectrometer to the PC, eliminating
the need for installing external A/D converters
and searching for available IRQs and input/output ranges. Wavelength
calibration coefficients unique to each
spectrometer are programmed into a memory chip right on the USB
Spectrometer; OOIBase32 software simply
reads these values from the spectrometer. What's more, the USB Spectrometer
requires no external power supply; it
draws its power from the computer. In fact, the USB port can be
used to power light sources that connect to the spectrometer.
Optimal Performance
The USB Spectrometer couples a low-cost, high-performance 2048-element
linear CCD-array detector with an
optical bench that's small enough to fit into the palm of your hand
-- the same detector and optical bench that have
provided superior performance to the users of our 15,000 systems
out in the field. The USB Spectrometer works in
the way that it accepts light energy transmitted through single-strand
optical fiber and disperses it via a fixed grating
across the linear CCD array detector, which is responsive from 200-1100
nm.
Modular Design
Selecting the USB Spectrometer - choosing from 14 gratings, 6 slits
and hundreds of fiber optic accessories such as
light sources, probes and optical fibers to create the optimal system
for their application.
Users can also choose from a complete line of spectroscopic accessories
to use with the USB Spectrometer. Most
accessories have SMA connectors for application flexibility. Changing
the sampling system is as easy as unscrewing
a connector and adding new components or accessories, such as light
sources, sampling holders, filter holders, flow
cells, fiber optic probes and sensors, collimating lenses, attenuators,
diffuse reflectance standards, integrating
spheres and an extensive line of optical fibers.
