Avantes Spectrometer

Avantes that are available in MMILL are Multichannel Spectrometer, Ava-Spec 2048 and AvaLight-Hal. The AvaLight-HAL is a Tungsten halogen light source. Optical spectroscopy is a technique that is used to measure light intensity in the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and infrared (IR) range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Spectroscopic measurements are used in many different applications, such as color measurement, concentration determination of chemical components, or electromagnetic radiation analysis.

The AvaSpec spectrometers are easy to set up, allowing the user to start collecting data within minutes. The AvaSpec-2048 Fiber Optic Spectrometer is based on the AvaBench-75 symmetrical Czerny- Turner design with 2048 pixel CCD Detector Array. The spectrometer has a fiber optic entrance connector (standard SMA, others possible), collimating and focusing mirror and diffractional grating. A choice of 15 different gratings with different dispersion and blaze angles enable applications in the 200-1100nm range. The AvaSpec-2048 can be delivered with 2 platforms of electronics with 14 bit AD converter; either with USB1.1 or the new USB2.0 interface.The AvaSpec-2048 is especially suitable for low light level and high resolution applications. An optional detector coating enhances the CCD performance for the UV range and a detector collection lens offers high sensitivity. Digital IO ports enable external triggering and control of shutter and pulsed light sources from the Avantes line of instruments.

All spectrometer channels in the Multichannel instrument are internally synchronized. The most left spectrometer, as seen from the front, is the master spectrometer, that provides the synchronization signal. This master spectrometer is connected to the HD-26 connector on the backside of the spectrometer.
