C9409MA
HAMAMATSU mini-spectrometer RC series is a compact polychromator integrated with a reflection grating and a CMOS linear image
sensor. Two models are available: a mini-spectrometer module (C9407MA) equipped with a driver circuit, and a mini-spectrometer head
(C9409MA) for OEM applications, which contains an optical system and an image sensor in a tiny case measuring only 28 × 28 × 28 mm.
Light guided into the mini-spectrometer head is dispersed into to a spectrum which is then photoelectrically converted and output as video
signals. The mini-spectrometer module has a USB port that connects to a PC for spectrum data collection.
The mini-spectrometer module comes supplied with free sample software that allows setting measurement conditions, acquiring and
saving data, and displaying graphs. Driver software and DLL are also supplied as accessory items to allow the users to configure their own
measurement software.

*3: Measured under constant light input conditions.
*4: When light at 550 nm is input, spectral stray light is defined as the ratio of the count measured at the input wavelength, to the
count measured in a region of the input wavelength ±40 nm.
*5: The ratio of the transmittance in the transmitting wavelength region of an optical filter (OG530) to that in the blocking region.

■ Connection example (transmission light measurement)
■ Light input method
Light to be measured is guided into the entrance port of RC
For C9407MA and C9409MA, an SMA connector (plug) is
series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured
with the built-in image sensor is output through the USB port
attached with the other end of the optical fiber. Light can be
easily guided by hooking up this connector to the SMA recep-
to a PC for data acquisition.
There are no moving parts inside the unit so stable mea-
tacle of an external unit. If the optical fiber connected to
C9407MA and C9409MA is shorter than needed, an optical
surement are obtained at all times. An optical fiber that
guides light input from external sources allows a flexible
fiber of the desired length can be added by connecting a
relay unit.
