The AvaSpec-2048 Fiber Optic Spectrometer is based on the AvaBench-75 symmetrical Czerny-Turner design with 2048 pixel CCD Detector Array. The spectrometer has a fiber optic entrance connector (standard SMA, others possible), collimating and focusing mirror and diffractional grating. A choice of 15 different gratings with different dispersion and blaze angles enable applications in the 200-1100nm range. The AvaSpec-2048 can be delivered with 2 platforms of electronics with 14 bit AD converter; either with USB1.1 or the new USB2.0 interface. The AvaSpec-2048 is especially suitable for low light level and high resolution applications. An optional detector coating enhances the CCD performance for the UV range and a detector collection lens offers high sensitivity. Digital IO ports enable external triggering and control of shutter and pulsed light sources from the Avantes line of instruments.
