Spectrometer

Product Description

The OneLight Spectrometer plays an integral role in both the calibration and the dynamic feedback control of the OneLight Spectra. The USB-controlled Spectrometer functions not only in its capacity as a wavelength and intensity calibration device, but also can create a digital feedback loop by relaying its measurements to the computer manipulating the Spectra.

Through software, the Spectrometer's measurements are interpreted and plugged into an algorithm which intelligently adjusts the Spectra's micro-mirror array produce a desired spectrum.

The Spectra is equipped with a beam splitter situated just behind its output port, which takes a small fraction of its emitted light and directs it through specially constructed sampling assembly coupled to a fibre optic cable. This light is transmitted to a connector on the Spectra's rear panel, for connection to a spectrometer that allows quantitative measurement of the Spectra's output signal.

This means users can calibrate the Spectra based on the actual output from the light guide, ensuring the highest degree of accuracy in illumination. The OneLight Spectrometer is designed for a low bench-top footprint, providing customers with maximum performance at the lowest possible cost. It is equipped with a standard diffraction grating optimized for the Spectra's spectral range (390- 720 nm), but it can be configured for other applications, such as the NIR version of the Spectra by selecting a different diffraction grating. Fused silica optical fibres with SMA terminations for connecting feedback spectrometers to the Spectra are available in a variety of lengths. The OSSPEC provides users with a cost-effective, software-integrated method of measuring light output. The OSSPEC is compatible with any Windows 32-bit operating system
