CCD spectrometer Quest™ X

fiber opticopticalNIR

The Quest™ X is a linear CCD array spectrometer optimized for UV and NIR performance using a low stray light optical bench. It features a 2048 element detector, built-in 16-bit digitizer, USB 2.0 interface with a >2.0 MHz readout speed, and external trigger. The Quest™ X is temperature compensated, which greatly reduces the thermal drift to ~15 counts/oC. This gives improved stability by decreasing baseline drift and sustaining the dynamic range. The Quest X is ideal for most UV, Vis, and NIR applications with spectral configurations from 200nm to 1050nm and resolutions between 0.5nm and 4.0nm. Custom configurations and RS232 communication interface are available for OEM applications.

Fiber Coupler Secures Fiber to Ensure Repeatable Results By coupling a fiber optic to the SMA 905 adaptor, light will be guided to the slit and optically matched, ensuring reproducibility. For free space sampling, a diffuser or lens assembly can be connected directly to the SMA 905 adaptor. 2. Entrance Slit Determines Photon Flux and Spectral Resolution Light entering into a spectrometer’s optical bench is vignetted by a pre-mounted and aligned slit. This ultimately determines the spectral resolution and throughput of the spectrometer after grating selection. We offer a variety of slit widths to match your specific application needs: from 10μm - 200μm wide, with custom slits available. 3.
