SPECTROSCOPY WHITE PAPERS AND CASE STUDIES
SPECTROSCOPY PRODUCTS
OCI-1000 series VIS-NIR hyperspectral imaging cameras are extremely compact, light, and rugged. They cover visible – near-infrared (VIS - NIR) spectral range from 470 – 1000 nm.
The OPAL-Luxe is a compact, multi-channel spectrometer capable of simultaneous multi-wavelength spectral measurements over a wide wavelength range with extremely high dynamic range, and is particularly effective when strong and weak signals are present simultaneously.
The innovative Optran® UV NSS is a solarization-resistant optical fiber with a hermetic carbon layer ideal for spectroscopy, medical diagnostics, and laser delivery systems.
Raptor offers a full suite of cameras and detectors suitable for Raman and HSI applications, including a choice of CCD and InGaAs sensors in various resolutions and pixel pitches, optimized for specific wavelengths, with cooling options.
Opto Diode presents a new two-stage, cooled, lead selenide (PbSe) detector that operates in the mid-infrared (IR) spectral region with peak sensitivity between 4.3 and 4.5µm. The cooler on the BXT2S-28T allows the detector element to operate as low as -45 °C to maximize detectivity (D*).
The IR Detectors (B Series) from Opto Diode are high-performance lead selenide (PbSe) single-channel, cooled, and uncooled devices. Applications for these detectors include gas analysis, emissions monitoring, spectroscopy, thermal imaging, defense, security, and process control systems.
G&H offers a range of distributed feedback lasers (DFB) that provide smooth, tunable wavelength control and the narrow spectral width required for precise fiber optics. Applications for these products include spectroscopy and fiber optic communications.
BaySpec introduces Breeze-L, the world’s smartest palm-held spectrometer in the Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR), with the longest wavelength coverage up to 2500 nm. Featuring proprietary miniaturized optics, the Breeze-L, with its extended wavelength range of 1350-2500 nm, is highly efficient for maximum sensitivity with ultrafast acquisitions. For the first time, a smart spectrometer delivers close to laboratory performance in a palm-held form.
