Fiber optic CCD spectrometer
200 -1000 nm Thorlabs

The CCS100 Series is a compact Czerny-Turner Spectrometer with a very good performance at a very affordable price. Its three models cover the wavelength range from UV (200 nm*) to the IR (1000 nm). This makes the CCS100 Series an ideal product for educational applications or for general fiber-based systems. Its small footprint measures only 120 mm (4.72") by 80 mm (3.15") roughly the size of a pocket calculator or a portable hard drive. The unit shares features with larger more expensive units such as the ability to be synchronized via a TTL trigger input up to 100 Hz and automatically compensating for noise created by dark current. The three models share the same design. Its CCD chips, gratings and lenses are optimized for the specified wavelength range.
(* The CCS150 can be ordered for the range of 220 to 440 nm upon request)

The SPLICCO Software Package
The spectrometer comes with a software package, called SPLICCO, with a graphical user interface and an extensive set of drivers (C/C++, LabWindows/CVI, Dot NET, NI LabVIEW, Visual Basic). The GUI offers the display of the spectra, background and peaks, if required all in a single window. Additionally, diverse algorithms can be applied for smoothing, averaging, or for calculating absorption and transmission. Additionally, the measurement results can be compared with other stored profiles. The included drivers allow for complete functional control of the CCS100 Series, allowing the user to design their own interface software or integrate the unit with a test and measurement setup for automated testing. Please see the User Interface tab for more details. The link to down load the software can be found on the Software tab.
