Near Infrared ( NIR ) Applications with Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometers

From StellarNet, Inc.
 

 

Miniature fiber optic spectrometers that interface to computers have been around for about 10 years. These small instruments are low-cost and therefore widely used in many different industrial applications across a variety of markets.

Example markets and applications include aerospace, agriculture, food and dairy, biomedical, pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical, cosmetics, educational, research, semiconductor and thin film measurement, lamp and lighting, LED and laser development, optical component characterization, paint color formulations, pulp and paper processing, telecom monitoring, fiber optic sensing, and UV process manufacturing.


Products & Services
UV and visible spectrometers measure the amount of ultraviolet (UV) and visible light transmitted or absorbed by a sample placed in the spectrometer. Search by Specification | Learn more about UV and Visible Spectrometers
Infrared (IR) spectrometers measure the wavelength and intensity of the absorption of infrared light by a sample. Search by Specification | Learn more about Infrared Spectrometers
Photometers produce electrical signals, which correspond to radiant flux energy, for a series of discrete wavelength intervals. They are used to measure wavelengths of light spectra and optical or atomic emissions. Search by Specification | Learn more about Photometers
Atomic emission and optical emission spectrometers determine analyte concentration via a quantitative measurement of the optical emission from excited atoms. Search by Specification | Learn more about Atomic Emission and Optical Emission Spectrometers
Water quality photometers and colorimeters are ion-specific, computer-interfaced probes that are designed to determine the concentration of a solution from its color intensity. Search by Specification | Learn more about Water Quality Photometers and Colorimeters
