High Speed Back-thinned CCD Spectrometer With Excellent UV/NIR Sensitivity

Source: Avantes BV
Avantes' newest addition to its Sensline family of high performance fiber optic spectrometers combines high speed with excellent sensitivity in the UV and NIR range. The AvaSpec-ULS2048XL features Avantes' best-in-class ultra-low stray light optical bench and a high QE (quantum efficiency) back-thinned CCD detector which supports integration times as low as 2 µs and provides superior response over standard CCDs in the UV and NIR ranges. The AvaSpec-ULS2048XL is also available with Avantes' new removable slit option (RS) which is available on any spectrometer that has a ULS (ultra-low stray light) optical bench.

The AvaSpec-ULS2048XL Fiber Optic Spectrometer replaces our other back-thinned CCDs which utilize vertical binning of a two dimensional array. The instrument's optical design is based on the AvaBench-75ULS Ultra Low Straylight symmetrical Czerny-Turner design.

The detector pixels in the AvaSpec-ULS2048XL measure 14 µm wide X 500 µm high. The detector has superior response over standard CCDs in the UV and NIR ranges and the linear array of 2048 pixels is suitable for higher speed triggering. Additionally the detector is equipped with an on chip electronic shutter which supports integration times as low as 2 µs making this instrument especially suitable for high speed measurements such as laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) or pulsed light source measurements.

The AvaSpec-ULS2048XL spectrometer has a fiber optic entrance connector (standard SMA, other options available), collimating and focusing mirrors and is available with choice of 16 different standard diffraction gratings to enable applications in the 200-1160nm range. Avantes offers standard and optional features for the AvaSpec-ULS2048XL including digital IO ports, Bluetooth® communication and an SD card for on-board storage of spectra.
