Spectrometers Provide Single-Instrument Solution

The XR-Series of miniature fiber optic spectrometers from Ocean Optics is available for the USB2000+, JAZ-EL2000, and USB4000. It covers all wavelengths from ~200 to 1050 nm with the convenience and of a single, monolithic spectrometer.

The XR-1 grating option overcomes the challenges of providing broad UV-NIR coverage in a single miniature spectrometer. With a 500-lines/mm density, the grating economically delivers high performance without increasing the system footprint. The grating is available pre-configured in the USB2000+, JAZ-EL2000, and USB4000 and can also be added as an option to custom-built systems.

The series delivers an optical resolution of ~2.0 nm (FWHM), and an order-sorting filter is applied directly to the detector to eliminate second- and third-order effects. The 25-µm slit on preconfigured units delivers good optical resolution for most applications. Providing a single-instrument solution for setups where both UV-Vis and Vis-NIR measurements are needed, the spectrometers are suited for measuring samples with response across the entire wavelength range, such as solar irradiance, atomic emission line measurement and some plasma applications.
