Portable Spectrometer / Portable Spectrum Analyzer
Description
Optoplex's portable spectrometer / portable near-infrared optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) / mini spectrometer is a valuable spectral module in the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) applications. Portable spectrometer acts as a stand-alone spectral engine, imaging and measuring, through a rapid and nondestructive process, a wide range of vapor, liquids and solids through transmission and diffuse reflection.
Leveraging on a proprietary thin-film coated tunable optical filter, Optoplex's portable spectrometer shares the same platform as Optical channel monitor / Optical performance minitor, featuring (1) compact; (2) light weight; (3) low power consumption. These characteristics of Optoplex's portable spectrometer engines are specifically suitable for a variety of handheld, portable or bench-top OSA / spectrometer applications. Equipped with a state-of-the-art internal wavelength reference, the OSA module is capable of measuring spectrum with ± 50 pm wavelength accuracy. Because it does not require an expensive InGaAs detector array, OSA is a cost-effective, alternative to other grating based OSA / spectrometer engines. OSA communicates with a PC or an instrument motherboard via an RS232, USB or DPRAM interface. Optoplex's portable spectrometer platform can be installed or co-packaged into existing NIR OSA / spectrometers as a cost-efficient alternative to other scanning engines and sensor array-based technology.
