Mini-spectrometers C11007MA C11009MA RC series C11008MA C11010MA Compact and low cost C11009MA, C11010MA: for installation into measurement equipment Hamamatsu mini-spectrometer RC series is a family of compact polychromators integrated with a reflection grating and a CMOS linear image sensor. Two types are available: mini-spectrometer modules (C11007MA, C11008MA) with a driver circuit, and mini-spectrometer heads (C11009MA, C11010MA) for installation into measurement equipment, which contain an optical system and an image sensor in a compact case. Mini-spectrometer modules have a USB port that connects to a PC for spectrum data collection. They come with sample software for setting measurement conditions, acquiring and saving data, and displaying data graphs, as well as with evalution software and DLL. In mini-spectrometer heads, incident light is dispersed into a spectrum which is photoelectrically converted by the image sensor and output as video signals.

To avoid this, connect a buffer amplifier for impedance conversion to the video output terminal so that the current flow is minimized. As the buffer amplifier, use a JFET or CMOS input operational amplifier of optical input impedance.

There are no moving parts inside the unit so stable measurement are obtained at all times. An optical fiber that guides light input from external sources allows a flexible measurement setup. Light input method For mini-spectrometer head (C11009MA, C11010MA), an SMA connector is attached with the other end of the optical fiber. Light can be easily guided by hooking up this connector to the SMA receptacle of an external unit. If the optical fiber connected to mini-spectrometer RC series is shorter than needed, an optical fiber of the desired length can be added by connecting a relay unit.

Do not bend the flexible board to the point where folds or creases occur. · Avoid pulling, twisting or excessive bending of the optical fiber, which may damage the optical components in the mini-spectrometer or the optical fiber itself. To prevent applying stress to the optical fiber, provide slotted mounting holes in the equipment enclosure where the head-type mini-spectrometer is to be installed. Make sure these slotted holes are aligned along the same direction as the optical fiber. When installing the mini-spectrometer, first clamp the optical fiber SMA connector and then use the slotted holes to secure the mini-spectrometer at a position where the optical fiber is free from stress. Evaluation software (C11007MA, C11008MA) Installing the evaluation software package (RCEvaluation.exe)*9 into your PC allows running the following basic tasks: · Measurement data acquisition and save · Measurement condition setup · Module information acquisition (wavelength conversion factor, polychromator type, etc) · Graphic display · Arithmetic operation Pixel number to wavelength conversion Comparison calculation with reference data (transmittance, reflectance) Dark subtraction Gaussian approximation (peak position and count, FWHM) Note: · This product cannot operate with the software that comes with the mini-spectrometer TM or TG series. · The external trigger input function does not work with the evaluation software. If using an external trigger input or designing original application software, the user software must be configured to support that function. *9: Compatible OS: Microsoft® Windows® 7 Professional SP1 (32-bit, 64-bit) Microsoft® Windows® 8 Professional (32-bit, 64-bit) DLL for controlling hardware is also provided.
