Avantes - Product Catalog - 2024 - digital

OUR TECHNOLOGY Traditionally, spectrometers relied on moving gratings to scan the spectrum However, Avantes revolutionized the field during the 1990s by adopting microelectronics, specifically Charged Coupled Devices (CCD) arrays and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) detectors This groundbreaking integration paved the way for our AvaSpec line of spectrometers, known for their fast and accurate scanning capabilities without the need for moving parts Now, our customers can benefit from efficient and low-cost scanning thanks to these advanced CCD and CMOS detectors integrated into our spectrometers One of the cornerstones of Avantes’ success in spectroscopy is the application of fiber optics technology We leveraged the developments in low-absorption silica fibers, initially utilized in communication technology, and transformed them into measurement fibers that transport light from the sample to the optical bench of our spectrometers The ease of coupling fibers empowers the creation of a versatile modular system encompassing a light source, various sampling accessories, and the fiber-optic spectrometer This adaptability makes Avantes spectrometers the go-to choice for measurements in harsh and difficult-to-access environments, extending their usability to a broad spectrum of industries and applications
