Optical spectrometer Quest™ U

NIRUVCCD

The Quest U is a linear CCD array spectrometer optimized for UV performance using a low stray light optical bench. It features a 2048 element detector, built-in 16-bit digitizer, USB 2.0 interface with a >2.0 MHz readout speed, and external trigger. The Quest U is temperature compensated, which greatly reduces the thermal drift to ~15 counts/oC. This gives improved stability by decreasing baseline drift and sustaining the dynamic range. The Quest U is available in two standard spectral configurations; 200nm - 400nm and 200nm - 850nm. Custom configurations and RS232 communication interface are available for OEM applications. Applications: Wavelength Identification Absorbance Reflectance OEM Optical Instrumentation Features 2.0 MHz Readout Speed Plug-and-play USB 2.0 1. Fiber Coupler Secures Fiber to Ensure Repeatable Results By coupling a fiber optic to the SMA 905 adaptor, light will be guided to the slit and optically matched, ensuring reproducibility. For free space sampling, a diffuser or lens assembly can be connected directly to the SMA 905 adaptor. 2. Entrance Slit Determines Photon Flux and Spectral Resolution Light entering into a spectrometer’s optical bench is vignetted by a pre-mounted and aligned slit. This ultimately determines the spectral resolution and throughput of the spectrometer after grating selection. We offer a variety of slit widths to match your specific application needs: from 10μm - 200μm wide, with custom slits available. 3. Collimating Mirror Collimates and Redirects Light Towards Grating Both mirrors are f/# matched focusing mirrors with UV enhanced coating,
