Selection Guide M a r. 2 0 1 3 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. Contents Image sensor technology 1 Selection guide 2 Lineup of mini-spectrometers 2-1.

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 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.

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.

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. Image sensor 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.

The grating is directly formed on the convex lens by nano-imprint. These MOEMS technologies have made it possible to develop a thumb-sized, ultra-compact spectrometer head. CMOS chip SEM image of grating 26 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. [Figure 3] Definition of spectral resolution 50% Relative light level FWHM [Figure 5] Spectral resolution vs. wavelength (typical example when slit width and NA for C10082CA were changed) (NA 0.11) 50% 3.5 Spectral resolution (nm) 3.0 Wavelength KACCC0320EA ■ 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 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) ⋅ Imperfections in the grating ⋅ Surface reflection from lens, detector window, detector photosensitive surface ■ 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.

Characteristics [Figure 12] Examples of stray light measurement using spectral lines (C9406GC) 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].

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 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. [Figure 16] Data hold responding to trigger input Digital data Trigger input Digital data is constantly updated by data obtained in the last integration time. KACCC0378EA Asynchronous Charge integration Digital data Data is cleared when read out from PC. ■ Operation mode during external trigger input Operation mode in the following mini-spectrometers can be changed by 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.

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.
