Fourier Transform
Spectrometer
The ARCspectro HT-2D is an ultra compact stationary Fourier
transform spectrometer. Based on polarization optics it provides an
extremely high sensitivity and is ideal for measurements of low light
and diffusing sources (diffuse reflection and turbid media). Its unique
design permits to collect light over a large angles and it has an high
entrance surface of several millimeters. The operation principle
prevents from problems like drift or dark noise which allows high
contrasts at single shot measurements. Thanks to its 2D camera it
averages over 1000 measurements in one shot!
It can be used in extremely simple optical setups, no need for
focusing optics. The user can directly illuminate the entrance opening
with the light to be spectrally analyzed or can bring the light to the
system with fiber bundles.
Typical characteristics of the HT series are
• Ultra High throughput (100x more than a grating spectrometer)
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Good resolution and High
throughput are combined
in Fourier transform
spectroscopy because
resolution is limited by the
maximum optical path
difference and not by the
entrance slit. The entrance
aperture is several
millimeters large.
The heart of the HT 2D is
made of materials that are
transparent over a large
spectral range and the
sensitivity is only limited by
the detector. Also a Fourier
Transform Spectrometer
does not need second order
rejection filters.
• Large spectral range: 400nm-1100nm
• Very low dark noise 0.02 counts (1024 lines averaging)
• Simple optical setup (no need for extra optics)
• Hardware and software trigger
The external and software
trigger allow to use the
instrument for industrial
application where precise
control is necessary.
• No drift
• Very short integration times (0.05ms)
• Variable Gain
• No moving parts
• Metallic anodized housing with useful fixation treads
Specifications are subject to change without notice
A monolithic bloc design
makes the HT 2D
insensitive to external
conditions and robust.
Simple optical setup
integration is possible
because there is no need for
injection or fiber optics.
