AvaSpec CompactLine Spectrometers

1-4 Channels; Power Handling ≤2 W; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 350-2050 nm; Connector Type NTT-FC/PC, ST, SC, SCA, LC/PC, Other; Attenuation ≤60 dB With its MCDD-1000 system, OZ Optics offers compact, rugged and low-cost benchtop digital multichannel attenuators with high resolution, high attenuation range, and high power handling (blocking technique only). These attenuators have low insertion loss (IL), low backreflection, low polarization dependent loss (PDL) and flat wavelength response. These units can be calibrated for up to 4 wavelengths for each attenuator, for C or L bands. Alternatively, the unit can be calibrated for a continuous range. By using interpolation between the calibration wavelengths, the MCDD-1000 benchtop digital multichannel attenuators units are capable of providing accurate attenuation levels over a continuous, broad range of wavelengths. OZ Optics’ multichannel attenuators are ideal for use in bit error rate testing, troubleshooting receivers and other active fiber optic components, power meter linearity checks, simulating long distance fiber transmission, and power setting. A computer interface allows users to access or remotely control the unit through a PC. OZ Optics provides attenuators that use either single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fiber. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining components and patch cords. However, OZ Optics can construct devices using other PM fiber structures. OZ Optics does carry some alternative fiber types in stock, so please contact AMS Technologies for availability. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer-supplied fibers to build devices.

MEMS-based, Pigtail Style, Reflection Mode; Single/Dual Types; Fiber Type SMF28; 1240 to 1640 nm; Attenuation up to 30 dB Sercalo Technology’s VXP series of miniature MEMS variable optical attenuators (VOAs) comes in a very small package and is ideally suited for integration in subsystems, where cost, size and performance are the most critical factors. The non-latching attenuators work in reflection mode and allow for continuous adjustment of the attenuation with a 0 to 5 V control voltage. The VXP variable optical attenuators are composed of an optical subsystem and an electrical driver interface. The highly reliable attenuation mechanism is based on a micromechanical shutter - a silicon MEMS chip, on which a mirror can be moved in and out of the optical path by electrostatic actuation – and features below 20 ms response time and below 1.0 dB insertion loss. The VXP series of miniature VOAs is available in single (VXP1) and dual (VXP2) variants. The plastic package is one of the smallest in the industry and optimized for low cost production while maintaining high reliability comparable to a solid-state device. The component is designed to meet Telcordia 1221 quality standards.The standard VXP attenuator achieves minimum insertion loss at 0 V input voltage. When power is removed, the insertion loss is roughly 0.5 dB higher than the minimum insertion loss (at 0 V when power is on). Key Features: Small Size (23 x 10 x 6 mm) Low PDL Very Fast 0 to 5 V Control Single or Dual Channel Applications: Power Management in DWDM Transceivers; Amplifier Gain Control; Optical Subsystems; Array Integration

The possibilities are virtually endless! For measurements in the near-infrared range up to 1.7 µm, Avantes offers the AvaSpec-NIR256/512-1.7-EVO series of affordable, uncooled spectrometers with trusted 256 or 512 pixel InGaAs array detectors. These instruments are USB powered and available with a choice of four gratings and replaceable slit options to match the bandwidth and requirements fitting your application. They feature a sample speed of only 0.53 ms/scan and integration times as fast as 10 µs. For applications where resolution is key, or more datapoints for modelling are required, the 512 pixel detector will be the best choice. If you require optimal noise conditions, even at longer integration times, the cooled versions AvaSpec-NIR256/512-1.7-HSC-EVO are the right choice. Both cooled spectrometers offer the high-sensitivity 100 mm optical bench (HSC) with the next generation of electronics and feature high sample speed and integration times as fast as 20 μs. Did you know the AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7 has a little brother? The AvaSpec-Mini-NIR spectrometer uses the same detector as its bigger counterpart, but in a much smaller package. Like Avantes’ other CompactLine spectrometers, this device is only the size of a deck of cards and USB powered, which makes it easy to integrate into other devices, including but not limited to OEM handheld applications. Since the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR has no moving parts, it is very robust and can be used in virtually any environment! The AvaSpec-NIR256/512-2.5-HSC-EVO series of TEC-cooled NIR spectrometers with replaceable slit are based on a 100 mm optical bench with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.13, offering optimal balance between resolution and sensitivity. The 2.5-HSC-EVO series feature 256 or 512 pixel InGaAs detectors for wavelengths up to 2,5 µm and are available in multiple configurations. For applications where resolution is key, or more data points for modelling are required, the 512-pixel detector will be the best choice. A range of gratings are available, making it possible to tailor the instruments for optimal performance in your application. In addition to the InGaAs based NIRLine spectrometers, Avantes offers a variety of instruments in the SensLine product family that are ideally suited for the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength region between 800 and 1160 nm – like the AvaSpec-ULS2048XL-EVO , the the AvaSpec-ULS2048x64-EVO or the AvaSpec-ULS2048x16 . These high-sensitivity, low-noise spectrometers employ high quantum efficiency, back-thinned CCD detectors with excellent IR response, offering a more budget-friendly solution for this wavelength range in comparison to the InGaAs array instruments in the NIRline. Avantes offers a wide range of cables to connect your AvaSpec spectrometer to an AvaLight series light source or one of Avantes’ many accessories like fiber optic switches, AvaTrigger, etc. Key Features: Optical Bench: Symmetrical Czerny-Turner With 50/75/100 mm Focal Length Available Gratings: 75 to 600 lines/mm Available Slit Sizes: 25 to 500 µm Wavelength Range: 900 to 2500 nm Resolution: 1.7 to 85 nm, Depending on Configuration Stray Light: ≤1%, Depending on Grating Sensitivity: 26,600 to 8,200,000 Counts/µW per ms Integration Time Detector: InGaAs Linear Array 256 to 512 Pixels, TE Cooled (Except AvaSpec-NIR256/512-1.7) Signal/Noise: 1800:1 to 5000:1 A/D Converter: 16 Bit, 500 kHz to 1.2 MHz Integration Time: 10 µs to 20 s Interface: USB 3.0 High Speed, USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet Sample Speed With Store to RAM or On-board Averaging: 0.13 to 0.54 ms per Scan Data Transfer Speed: 0.4 to 1.2 ms/Scan (USB) Dimensions: 95 x 68 x 20, 185 x 84 x 185, 185 x 145 x 185, 185 x 160 x 184 mm Applications: Moisture Content Measurement of Liquids, Solids and Powders for In-line and Quality Control Purposes; Quantitative and Qualitative Measurement of Volatile Organics Such as Ethanol and Methanol; Plastic Characterization and Material Identification; Irradiance Measurements Such as Solar Monitoring; Qualitative Measurements of Feed and Food; Wheat, Grain and Fertilizer Analysis; Dairy Industry; Recycling; Medical; Process Monitoring
