 SpectraHub - Single-channel Spectroscopy Detection System

 

 

Light Source Characterization, Emission:
To characterize light sources or collect emission from a source or sample, a single monochromator equipped with a detector (PMT) is required. ARC’s SpectraSense / SpectraHub package is ideal for collection and analysis of the source emission. A filter wheel is often added to eliminate unwanted second order radiation. For extended wavelength coverage, a monochromator featuring a multiple grating turret and dual exit ports is often utilized, allowing acquisition from UV through IR.

 
Transmittance, Reflectance, Absorbance:
In most cases a single monochromator with a broad band light source and filter wheel can be used for these applications. An appropriate sample chamber with detector is needed to complete the system. A source compensation detector is recommended to improve the stability of the measurements.
Fluorescence, Luminescence:

In these applications a monochromator with light source can be used to select the excitation wavelengths. A filter wheel is recommended for eliminating possible excitation from second order radiation. Analysis can be performed in a sample chamber or by using a fiber optic probe.A second monochromator with detector is used to characterize the sample emission. A second detection channel for source compensation or dual beam normalization
