The VIS-NIR-FIB are ultra-broadband spectrometers designed for use with fibered probes over the complete VIS & NIR spectral range, 350-2600nm. The system incorporates one Arcoptix FT-NIR Fourier-Transform scanning spectrometer for the NIR range 900-2600 and one multichannel grating spectrometer for the VIS (350-1000nm). Both instruments are integrated in a single, portable housing that has two separate SMA inputs for the VIS and for the NIR ranges, matching the transmission ranges of high-OH and low-OH fibers. The software supplied with the spectrometer automatically merges the spectra produced by the 2 spectrometers. VIS-NIR-FIB (350-2600nm) give a result within two seconds. The software can be customized on demand for specific colorimetric or other standard measurements.

Key Features

Fibered spectrometer with the broadest available spectrum:350-2600nm
For the VIS range the most performant solution is the multichannel dispersive spectrometer with a Si-diode array. This solution offers fast measurement times, high sensitivity and good resolution at a moderate cost.
For the NIR spectral range, the scanning Fourier-transform spectrometers are superior to photodiode-array based grating spectrometers.

Typical Applications

Food, beverage & dairy
Pulsed laser measurement
Agriculture
Gas detection
Environmental monitoring
Security and defense
Cosmetics
Textile
Plastics
Process control

solar cells characterization
Chemical monitoring
Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Free Software Available

The VIS-NIR-FIB (350-2600nm) are delivered with a free Windows compatible graphical user interface (GUI) program. The software automatically merges the spectral data from the VIS and NIR spectrometers. The free basic software package allows the user to:

Configure hardware measurement parameters (amplifier gain, averaging etc.)
Display real-time spectral measurement results
Set reference spectra (white, dark) and choose among raw spectra, transmission or absorption modes.
Usual features such as save, open, zoom, rescale...
Save data of combined VIS-NIR spectra, or individual VIS and NIR spectra
