USB4000 Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer
USB4000 Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer; The USB4000 is the flagship product in our next generation of spectrometers. It uses Toshiba's linear array CCD detector with 3648 pixels to obtain a higher signal-to-noise ratio, and uses enhanced electronics for better control of the spectrometer and its components. Depending on the application, we make the optical bench an optional configuration, including entrance slit, grating, and order-sorting filter, etc.; The integration time in our software is set by the user. Similar to a camera's shutter speed: the specified integration time is the time during which the detector observes incident photons. Because the Toshiba detector's electronic shutter can be set via software to an integration time as short as 10 microseconds, you can measure events that occur instantaneously, such as laser pulses. This performance solves the saturation problems that may occur in advanced applications such as laser analysis.; The programmable microcontroller included with the USB4000 provides great flexibility for controlling the spectrometer and its components. Through a 22-pin connector, you can perform all operating parameters in software: control light sources, create processes, and obtain information from external devices. You have 8 user-programmable digital input/output ports to provide interfaces with other devices.; The USB4000 uses Toshiba's high-performance 3648-pixel linear array CCD detector and an optical bench small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Its operating principle is the same as other spectrometers produced by Ocean Optics; it accepts light transmitted through a single-core fiber, disperses it through a fixed grating, and irradiates it onto the linear array CCD detector, whose response wavelength range is 200-1100 nm.; The USB4000 can be easily used together with other Ocean Optics products. Most components have SMA905 connectors, making your application more flexible. The available products include: light sources, sample cells, filter holders, flow cells, fiber optic probes and sensors, collimating lenses, attenuators, diffuse reflectance standards, integrating spheres, and a large number of fiber optic products.; To properly configure a USB4000 for your usage, the specific optional detector models are listed in the table below. Our engineers will help you decide which one is best for you. The USB4000 uses Toshiba TCD1304AP 3648-pixel linear CCD array detector.; The USB4000 connects to a PC, PLC, or other embedded controllers via USB2.0 or RS-232 serial port. Each spectrometer's respective data is stored in a memory on the USB4000. Our spectrometer control software reads these values for instant exchange and fast parameter setup between PCs.; Serial operation note: When using the serial port, the USB4000 requires a single 5-volt power supply (not included). Also, SpectraSuite software does not support operating the spectrometer through the serial port. However, using the included serial command set, you can write your own software for serial operation.; Physical characteristics; Dimensions:; 89.1 mm x 63.3 mm x 34.4 mm; Weight:; 190 g; Detector technical specifications; Detector:; Toshiba TCD1304AP linear array CCD; Detection range:; 200-1100nm; Pixels:; 3648 pixels; Pixel size:; 8 μm x 200 μm; Pixel well depth:; 100,000 electrons; Signal-to-noise ratio:; 300:1 (full signal); A/D; 16-bit; Dark noise; 12 RMS counts; Corrected linearity; >99.8%; Sensitivity; 400 nm: 130 photons/count; 600 nm: 60 photons/count; Optical bench; Design:; f/4, asymmetrical crossed optical path; Input focal length:; 42mm; Output focal length:; 68mm; Entrance aperture:; 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 or 200 µm slit or fiber (no slit); Grating selection:; 14 different gratings, UV to near-infrared; HC-1 grating selection:; None; Detector condenser lens selection:; Optional, L4; OFLV filter options:; OFLV-200-850; OFLV-350-1000; Other filter options:; Longpass OF-1 filter; Optical characteristics; Wavelength range:; Depends on grating selection; Spectral resolution:; 0.3-10.0 nm FWHM; Integration time:; 10 microseconds to 65 minutes; Dynamic range:; 2 x 10^8 (system), 1300:1 single acquisition; Stray light:; 0.05% at 600nm; 0.10% at 435 nm; Fiber optic connector:; SMA905; Electronic characteristics; Power consumption:; 90 mA @ 5 VDC; Data transfer speed:; Full scan to memory, 4ms for USB2.0, 18ms for USB1.1, 300ms for serial port.; Input/Output:; 8 digital, programmable general-purpose input/output ports; Analog channels:; Pulse functions; Single pulse and continuous pulse; Connector:; 22-pin connector; Computer; Operating systems:; USB port: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, Mac OS X and Linux; Serial port: any 32-bit Windows operating system; Computer interface:; USB 2.0 @ 480 Mbps (USB1.1 compatible); RS-232 (2-wire) @ 115.2 K baud; Peripheral interface:; SPI (3-wire); I 2C inter-integrated circuit
