Avantes AvaRaman Spectroscopy System is a high performance low cost Raman solution for educational and industrial applications.

The AvaRaman system is offered in three pre-configured configurations as follows:

AvaRaman 532 - Non TE Cooled, 532 nm laser (50 mW), Spectral Range: 100-5000 cm-1 (535-752 nm); Resolution: 10 cm-1

AvaRaman 785 - Non TE Cooled, 785 nm laser (500 mW), Spectral Range: 100-2700 cm-1 (790-1050 nm); Resolution: 25 cm-1

AvaRaman 785 - TE Cooled, 785 nm laser (500 mW), Spectral Range: 100-2100 cm-1 (785-930 nm); Resolution: 8 cm-1

The AvaRaman is based upon the AvaSpec 2048 spectrometer and features fiber optic probes and sample accessories from InPhotonics. Aside from the standard 532 and 785 nm lasers, other excitation wavelengths are also available

Infrared spectroscopy can now be combined with Renishaw Raman microscopes to offer confocal Raman microscopy and infrared microscopy in a single instrument. This provides users with exceptional analytical power for identifying unknown materials by combining both vibrational spectroscopic techniques. This combined IR/Raman analysis simplifies a wide range of analytical problems (such as forensic fibre analysis).

Smiths Detection IlluminatIR II™ module can be fitted to a Renishaw Raman microscope at any time: at the time of purchase, or retro-fitted in the field.

Avantes is leading the way in fiber optic spectroscopy applications requiring 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. FDA regulated agencies are familiar with this FDA software regulation which stipulates that instrument software provide for electronic signatures, audit trails and security permission control for different user levels. The Panorama software suite from LabCognition provides for such a framework for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Additionally, Panorama enables sophisticated spectral data collection and analysis for complex chemometric applications. Panorama Pro is fully compatible with the Avantes line of USB2 instruments including Avantes AvaRaman lost cost fiber optic Raman system.

Available modules for Panorama Pro include:

• Panorama-Search - Searchable Spectral Library Module

JASCO has developed the new RMP-300 Series portable Raman spectrometer system, incorporating a fiber optic probe with a small X-Y-Z stage, compact laser, a high-throughput spectrograph and Peltier-cooled CCD detector. No special utilities such as coolants are required allowing the system to be used almost anywhere. The flexibility of optical fiber coupling enables remote measurements by locating the probe right at the sample. The fiber optic probe features an integrated CCD video camera for sample positioning and capturing of digital sample images. All operations are performed by the dedicated software package based on JASCO Spectra Manager IITM.

The RMP-300 Series consists of six models, the RMP-310, 315, 320, 325, 330, and 335, ranging from small, portable units suitable for in-situ measurements to research-grade systems to provide capabilities for a wide range of application requirements.

The RMP-300 system is controlled using Spectra Manager IITM, JASCO's powerful Windows based cross-platform spectroscopy software package. The system is capable of both laboratory work and on-site measurements in the fields of process control, QC, forensics, art conservation and mineralogy.

Higher spatial resolution and better S/N ratio

Better portability and smaller space requirements

No special utilities required

Non-destructive remote measurements using a fiber optic probe

Spectra Manager IITM, user-friendly graphical interface

Ondax's PowerLocker^® is ideal for increasing the brightness of high power laser diodes and locking their emission wavelength. The short external cavity enabled by the PowerLocker^® provides better mode selection than systems based on Littrow and Littman cavities.

The PowerLocker^® is a volume holographic glass grating which reflects a specified wavelength at a given reflectivity. Results from PowerLocker^® stabilization with single emitters, bars and stack of bars are discussed in the Photonics Spectra article.

The PowerLocker^® is patent protected by U.S patent 5,691,989.

Inventory of standard volume holographic gratings available. Custom wavelengths and efficiencies available in 4-6 weeks.

FEATURES:

Increases spectral brightness of lasers
