MINI-SPECTROMETERS
Integrating a HAMAMATSU image sensor, its driver circuit, and optical elements into a compact case
Compact and low cost
mini-spectrometers
HAMAMATSU mini-spectrometers are compact polychromators made up of optical elements such as a grating, an
image sensor and its driver circuit, all integrated into a
compact case. By guiding light with an optical fiber into a
mini-spectrometer, the light spectrum can be measured
and then output from the USB port to a PC for data acquisition and analysis.
High-performance spectrophotometers are used in a wide
range of fields, such as chemical analysis. However, those
spectrophotometers are usually large and expensive. Moreover, the sample has to be brought into a laboratory where
the spectrometer is installed.
By merging our unique image sensor technology accumulated over many years with advanced MEMS technology
such as holographic processing, HAMAMATSU has developed mini-spectrometers featuring a compact size and
low cost.
Mini-spectrometers can be used in diverse applications including chemical analysis, color measurement, environmental measurement, and process control on production
lines. HAMAMATSU also provides OEM models designed
for installation into portable measuring devices.

A grating is an optical element that
disperses light into a spectrum. Gratings for mini-spectrometers (TG/TM
series) use a transmission type (made
of quartz) fabricated by a holographic
process. The holographic process is
an excellent technique ideal for mass
production as it allows the grating to
be fabricated directly onto the substrate, instead of fabricating a replica
from the master grating. This makes
it possible to separate light into a precise spectrum and improves measurement throughput. It also reduces
stray light levels to obtain high diffraction efficiency with low noise.

Back-thinned CCD image sensors
Mini-spectrometers such as the C9404CA, C9405CB and C10082CA incorporate a back-thinned CCD image sensor designed by HAMAMATSU for
mini-spectrometers. Back-thinned CCD image sensors have high quantum
efficiency in the UV region and are highly stable under UV light. They also
operate in MPP mode to ensure a low dark current with no afterimage. All
these features make mini-spectrometers with back-thinned CCD image sensors ideal for low-light-level photometry such as fluorescence measurement. IR-enhanced back-thinned CCD image sensor has high infrared sensitivity.

CMOS linear image sensors
CMOS linear image sensors achieve excellent linearity due to a high-performance charge amplifier formed on-chip. They also offer high sensitivity
in the UV to near infrared region while ensuring low noise. Compared to
back-thinned CCD image sensors, CMOS linear image sensors can handle
a large charge and are more suited for use in applications involving higher
light intensity. High light level mini-spectrometers are ideal for spectrophotometry, such as light source spectrum and absorbance measurements.

InGaAs linear image sensors
InGaAs linear image sensors contain a CMOS charge amplifier array that accumulates the generated charge to provide a large output signal. InGaAs linear
image sensors are preferably used for low-light-level detection in the near infrared region. The C9913GC, C9914GB and C11118GA mini-spectrometers use a
TE-cooled InGaAs linear image sensor and feature low noise operation. The InGaAs linear image sensor (G9208-256W) used in the C11118GA is a long wavelength type that allows measurement of long-wavelength light up to 2.55 m.

3. Structure
Wavelength dispersive spectroscopes are broadly grouped
into monochromator and polychromator types. Monochromators use a grating as the wavelength dispersing element
for separating incident light into a monochromatic spectrum. Polychromators operate on the same principle as
monochromators but are designed to allow simultaneous
detection of multiple spectra. Mini-spectrometers fall under
the polychromator type. In a monochromator, there is usually an exit slit formed on the focal plane of a focusing lens,
while in polychromators, an array type detector (image
sensor) is placed along the focal plane of the focusing lens.
To make mini-spectrometers compact and portable, the focal lengths of the collimating lens and focusing lens are
shorter than monochromators.
[Figure 1] Optical system layout in TG series
Focus lens
Transmission grating
■ Entrance slit
This is an aperture through which light to be measured is
guided inside. The entrance slit restricts the spatial spread
of the measurement light entering the mini-spectrometer.
Since the slit image of the incident light is eventually focused on the image sensor, the slit aperture size is a major
factor in determining the optical system resolution and
throughput. An optical fiber is connected to the entrance slit
of mini-spectrometers.
■ Collimating lens, focusing lens
The light passing through the entrance slit usually spreads
at a certain angle. The collimating lens collimates this
transmitted light and guides it onto the grating. An aperture
(aperture mask) is used along with the collimating lens to
limit the NA (numerical aperture) of the light flux entering
the mini-spectrometer. On the other hand, the focusing lens
forms light passing through the grating onto an image
sensor in order of wavelength.

Collimating lens
■ Grating
Entrance slit
KACCC0256EA
The grating disperses the light guided through the
collimating lens according to its wavelength and lets the
light at each wavelength pass at a different diffraction
angle.
■ Image sensor
The function of each element used in mini-spectrometers is
explained in the right.
The image sensor converts the spectrum of light focused by
the focusing lens into electrical signals, and then outputs
them. Cooled mini-spectrometers incorporate a TE-cooled
image sensor for reducing image sensor noise.

4. Characteristics
However, narrowing the slit width and reducing the NA will
limit the light incident on the mini-spectrometer. The light intensity reaching the image sensor will therefore drop. When,
for example, comparing the C10082CA with the C10082CAH,
the slit width of the C10082CA is 70 m while that of the
C10082CAH is 10 m. This means the amount of light entering the C10082CAH is 1/7 of the C10082CA.
On the other hand, due to differences in the internal NA of
each mini-spectrometer, the amount of light incident on the
sensor in the C10082CAH is 1/4 that of the C10082CA. However, because the resolution of the C10082CAH is 1/4 of the
C10082CA, the A/D count obtained from the C10082CAH will
be 4 times greater than the C10082CA. Taking these facts into
account, when the same amount of light enters the optical
fiber, the A/D count of the C10082CAH will be 1/7 that of the
C10082CA because of differences in the slit width.
4-1 Spectral resolution
■ Definition
The spectral resolution of mini-spectrometers is defined as
FWHM (full width at half maximum). This is the spectral
width at 50 % of the peak power value as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 4 shows examples of spectral resolution measured
with mini-spectrometers.

■ Changing the spectral resolution
The spectral resolution of mini-spectrometers varies depending on the slit width and NA. In the C10082CA, for example,
the slit width is 70 m and the NA is 0.22. If the NA is
changed to 0.11 and the slit width is narrowed, the spectral
resolution changes as shown in Figure 5. This proves that
the spectral resolution can be improved down to 1 nm by
changing operating conditions.

■ Pixel bandwidth
This section describes the pixel bandwidth of the image
sensor mounted in a mini-spectrometer. Pixel bandwidth is
different from spectral resolution.
The approximate spectral detection bandwidth assigned
per pixel is obtained by dividing the spectral response
range by the number of pixels.
Example: C10082MD (spectral response range: 200 to 800
nm, number of pixels: 1024)
Spectral detection width per pixel = (800 - 200) / 1024
0.6 [nm] ... (1)
The detection wavelength of any given pixel is calculated
from the following equation using the wavelength conversion factor written in the EEPROM in the mini-spectrometer.
This allows obtaining the spectral width assigned to a pixel.
Detection wavelength of any given pixel [nm]
= a0 + a1pix + a2pix2 + a3pix3 + a4pix4 + a5pix5 ... (2)

⋅ Surface reflection from lens, detector window, detector

■ Definition
There are two methods to measure and define stray light.
One method measures stray light using a long-pass filter
and the other method uses reference light in a narrow spectral range (light output from a line spectra emitted from a
spectral line lamp, etc.).
The long-pass filter method measures stray light using white
light passed through the long-pass filter for constant wavelength. In this case, the stray light is defined as the ratio of
transmittance in the “transmitting” region to transmittance in
the “blocking” region. Stray light (SL) is defined by the following equation. (See Figure 11 for the definitions of Tl and Th.)
SL = 10 × log (Tl / Th) ............ (3)
a0 to a5: Wavelength conversion factor
pix: Image sensor pixel number (from 1 to the last pixel)
HAMAMATSU mini-spectrometers are designed so that the
spectral detection width assigned per pixel in the image
sensor is small relative to the spectral resolution. The output
is divided to multiple pixels when a spectral line is measured with a mini-spectrometer as shown in Figure 10. The
center wavelength of the spectral line can be found by approximating this measurement result with a Gaussian curve.
[Figure 10] Approximating the center wavelength of spectral line
This definition allows measuring the effects of stray light
over a broader spectrum range, so this method is more suited for evaluating actual applications such as fluorescence
measurement. However, be aware that the intensity profile
of white light used as reference light will affect the measurement value.
In the other method using reference light in a narrow spectral range, the stray light (SL) is defined as follows:
SL = 10 × (log IM / IR) ............ (4)
IM : Unnecessary light intensity that was output at wavelengths deviating from
the reference light spectrum
IR : Reference light intensity
Light level
In this definition of stray light, the measurement conditions
are simple and so can easily be evaluated at constant values.
In both methods using a long-pass filter or using a narrow
spectrum, the stray light conditions will differ depending on
the wavelength of the light being measured. The stray light
should therefore be measured on multiple wavelengths.

The output charge Q(λ) of an image sensor is converted
into a voltage by the charge-to-voltage converter circuit and
then converted into a digital signal by the A/D converter.
This is finally derived from the mini-spectrometer as an output value I(λ) [counts]. The output value of a mini-spectrometer is expressed by the following equation.

5. Operation mode
■ Free-run operation (normal operation mode)
When light enters an image sensor, an electrical charge is
generated in each pixel of the image sensor according to
the incident light intensity. This charge accumulates in each
pixel during the integration time and is cleared to zero during readout. This means that the charge must be read out
before accumulating a newly generated charge. In minispectrometers, this cycle of "charge integration" → "charge
readout (A/D conversion)" → "digital data hold" repeats
continuously. Digital data is constantly updated with data
obtained in the last integration time. When a data request is
received from the PC, the mini-spectrometer sends the
most recent data at that point to the PC. Figure 14 shows a
typical free-run operation mode.
[Figure 14] Free-run operation
Clear
Integration

Charge readout
(A/D conversion)
Operation modes using external trigger input are described
below.
(1) Data hold by trigger input
This operation mode differs from free-run operation in that
data to be held is controlled by trigger input. The minispectrometer internally holds digital data accumulated in
the integration time that begins just after a trigger input
edge (rising or falling edge selectable) is detected. This data
being held is then reset when it is read out from the PC. If
the next trigger is input while the data is still being held,
then that data is updated to new digital data.
For example, when a mini-spectrometer is used to detect
light emitted from a DC mode light source with a shutter installed, then data accumulated in a predetermined integration time can be held by supplying the mini-spectrometer
with a shutter open signal as a trigger input. High repeatability measurements can be made by setting a shutteropen period that is sufficiently longer than the integration
time.

■ Operation mode during external trigger input

KACCC0379EA
(2) Data labeling during trigger input
Using A10670 external trigger coaxial cable (sold separately), connect the mini-spectrometer to a device that outputs
digital signals at 0 to 5 V levels.
This operation mode attaches a label to digital data during
the gate period for external trigger input. When a trigger
(High level or Low level selectable) is input, a label corresponding to data accumulated during trigger input is attached to the digital data. When each digital data is read
out from the PC, that label information is obtained at the
same time.
When acquiring data under different measurement conditions, this mode is suitable for finding which measurement
condition applies to which measurement data. For example,
suppose measurements are made under condition A and
condition B. Condition A uses no trigger input to make
measurement, so there is no labeling. In contrast, condition
B uses a trigger input, so a label is attached to the acquired
data. Labeling the acquired data in this way during trigger
input makes it possible to distinguish between acquired
data measurement conditions.

■ Interface
HAMAMATSU mini-spectrometers come with a DLL. By using
the DLL in a software development environment such as Microsoft ® Visual C++ ® and Visual Basic ®*5, you can create
your own application software that supports Windows*6.
Because Windows ®-compatible application software cannot directly access a USB host controller, the DLL calls the
necessary functions to allow the software to access the
USB host controller via the device driver and USB driver
and to control the mini-spectrometer. (See Figure 26.) The
DLL provides functions such as USB port open/close, measurement condition setup, measurement data and module
information acquisition.
*5: Operation was verified with Microsoft® VisualStudio® 2008 (SP1)
Visual C++® and Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008 (SP1) Visual Basic®
on .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 (Microsoft® Windows® XP/Vista/7).
*6: The C11351 comes with a DLL. However, the DLL function specifications are not available to users since the C11351 is an evaluation circuit.

*1: Principle of film thickness measurement (white light interferometry)
In film thickness measurement utilizing white light interferometry, an interference spectrum
resulting from reflections between the front and back surfaces of a film is obtained.
The film thickness can then be determined by calculation from the spectral peak count, wavelength range, refractive index of film and incident light angle.
