The RED-Wave-NIRx-SR spectrometers cover the NIR wavelength range from 0.9-2.3μm in one instrument using extended range InGaAs detectors. The spectrometers are exceptionally robust with no moving parts and are packaged in small rugged metal enclosure (2.75” x 4” x 6”) for portable, processes, and lab applications. The InGaAs detector is a Sensors Unlimited linear photo diode array with 512 pixels (1024 optional) 25μm by 500μm tall to provide maximum sensitivity. The detector has an integrated two- stage thermo electric cooler (TEC) maintained at – 20 °C, stabilized within +/-0.1°C. The RED-Wave- NIRx-SR InGaAs spectrometers use single strand low OH fiber optic input cable with SMA905.
Extended range NIR applications include chemical ID of samples using molecular absorption. Liquids samples are measured via cuvette, Dip probe, and flow cell for process monitoring of concentrations. Photonics applications include optical transmission characterization of materials for filter/coating applications. Laser and tunable laser wavelength monitoring, and micro-sensor applications.
The RED-Wave includes a high speed USB-2 interface cable to interface with notebook and desktop computers. SpectraWiz soft- ware is included for a variety of spectroscopy measurements.
