New Spectrometer Offers Higher Acquisition Speed for Light Measurement

摘要

Ocean Optics has upgraded its Ocean FX miniature spectrometer to now offer an acquisition speed of up to 4,500 scans per second, high-sensitivity CMOS detector performance and integration times as low as 10 us. With flexible features to manage saturation intensity, it is suitable for high-intensity LED and light source measurement, laser characterisation, spectral analysis of rapid events and plasma monitoring. Depending on the performance of the operating system to which it is connected, Ocean FX can acquire up to 4,500 scans per second. This speed allows users to collect more spectral information over shorter periods of time, contributing to better results. The high speed is also useful for capturing rapidly occurring modulation of light output, such as flicker in LEDs and other sources (see Ocean Optics Application Note:https:// oceanoptics.com/ocean-fx-high-speed-applications-in-home-lighting/). The powerful onboard processor holds up to 50,000 spectra in its memory and can perform averaging of up to 5,000 spectra, significantly speeding up transfer times and reducing bandwidth requirements.
