Ocean Optics expands wavelengths of spectrometers

Ocean Optics has expanded the wavelength capabilities of several of its miniature fibre-optic spectrometers.

The XR-Series, available for the USB2000+, JAZ-EL2000 and USB4000, covers all wavelengths from ~200-1,050nm with the convenience and affordability of a single, monolithic spectrometer.

The new XR-1 grating option developed by Ocean Optics overcomes the traditional challenges of providing broad UV-NIR coverage in a single miniature spectrometer.

With a 500-lines-per-milimetre density, the grating delivers high performance at a budget-friendly price, without increasing the system footprint, according to the company.

The XR-1 grating is available pre-configured in the USB2000+, JAZ-EL2000 and USB4000 and may also be added as an option to custom-built systems.

The XR-Series spectrometers deliver an optical resolution of ~2.0nm (FWHM).

Ocean Optics' proprietary order-sorting filter is applied directly to the detector to eliminate second- and third-order effects.

The 25um slit on the preconfigured units delivers good optical resolution for most applications.

XR-Series spectrometers are a single-instrument solution for setups where both UV-VIS and VIS-NIR measurements are needed and are suitable for the measurement of samples with response across the entire wavelength range, such as solar irradiance, atomic emission line measurement and some plasma applications.
