Hamamatsu C9404MC Integrating optical system, image sensor and circuit Datasheet

MODULE
Mini-spectrometer TG series
C9404MC, C9405MC
Integrating optical system, image sensor and circuit
HAMAMATSU TG series mini-spectrometers are polychromators integrated with optical elements and an image sensor. Light to be measured is
guided into the entrance port of TG 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. C9404MC and C9405MC are palmtop-size units and operate on USB bus power. Two models are available
to cover different spectral ranges: C9404MC (TG-UV-MOS) and C9405MC (TG-SWNIR-MOS). The TG series comes with sample software,
device driver and DLL that let you easily set measurement conditions and acquire, save and graphically display the spectrum data.

■ Optical component layout
TG series mini-spectrometers use a transmission holographic
grating made of quartz and precision optical components
arranged on a rugged optical base, making it possible to
deliver high throughput and highly accurate optical characteristics.

TRANSMISSION GRATING
■ Connection example
(transmission light measurement)
Light to be measured is guided into the entrance port of TG
series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured
with the built-in image sensor is output through the USB port
to a PC for data acquisition. There are no moving parts inside
the unit so stable measurements are obtained at all times. An
optical fiber that guides light input from external sources allows a flexible measurement setup.
