Mini-spectrometers TM series C10082CA/C10083CA series High sensitivity type (integrated with backthinned type CCD image sensor) TM series mini-spectrometers are polychromators integrated with optical elements, an image sensor and a driver circuit. Light to be measured is guided into the entrance port of TM series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the built-in image sensor is output from the USB port to a PC for data acquisition. They are high sensitivity mini-spectrometers employing a back-thinned type CCD image sensor. Their sensitivity is about two orders of magnitudes higher than CMOS type making TM series even more ideal for low-light-level measurement. The C10082CAH and C10083CAH are high resolution type (spectral resolution: 1 nm Typ.). Mini-spectrometer TM series comes supplied with free evaluation software that allows setting measurement conditions, acquiring and saving data, and displaying graphs. Original measurement software can be designed on an end-user’s side as DLL’s function specification is disclosed. Features Applications Integrated with back-thinned type CCD image sensor: Sensitivity is about two orders of magnitude higher than CMOS type. Low-light-level measurement such as fluorescence measurement Semiconductor process control Evaluation of light source characteristics such as LED High resolution: 1 nm (C10082CAH, C10083CAH) Variable spectral resolution by selecting slit width and NA High throughput due to transmission grating made of quartz Easy to install into equipment Wavelength conversion factor *1 is recorded in internal memory. Supprts external trigger input *2 *1: A conversion factor for converting the image sensor pixel number into a wavelength is recorded in the module. A calculation factor for converting the A/D converted count into the input light intensity is not provided. *2: Coaxial cable for external trigger input is sold separately.

A/D output is the output with dark output is subtracted when light is input. The difference between the ideal value and typical example contains a measurement error. The smaller the A/D output, the larger the measurement error.
