AvaSpec HERO Compact Back Illumination Fiber Spectrometer
AvaSpec-HSC1024 * 58TEC-EVO (hereinafter referred to as AvaSpec HERO), a research grade spectrometer launched by Avantes. Based on a high-sensitivity compact optical platform (focal length=100mm, numerical aperture=0.13) and a 1024x58 pixel backlit CCD detector, it has the high sensitivity and resolution of our company's instrument. AvaSepc HERO is equipped with a thermoelectric refrigeration device to adapt to applications that require longer integration measurements under low light conditions. Combined with the AS7010 circuit board equipped with a high-level AD converter, the noise signal can be kept at a very low level, allowing you to achieve better signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range performance during use.
The selection of gratings and slits allows you to configure the spectrometer more flexibly, and AvaSpec HERO is suitable for applications in the range of 200-1160nm, from weak fluorescence applications to Raman applications. USB 3.0 high-speed communication interface and Gigabit Ethernet communication interface can quickly and easily communicate with computers. Meanwhile, the digital IO interface provided by Avantes spectrometer can be used for external triggering, shutter control, and pulse light source triggering. The standard configuration of AvaSpec HERO includes replaceable slits, which can be flexibly used in multiple applications.
