The StellarNet
BLUE-Wave miniature spectrometers are fiber optically coupled
instruments with a wide selection of models for measurements in
200-1150nm wavelength ranges.
Various models
provide a choice of grating range and slit resolutions. New and
improved electronics with a high speed 16-bit digitizer allows
for fast data acquisition and a signal to noise of 1000:1!
Ruggedized
– The detachable spectrograph assembly and control electronics
are protected inside a rugged metal enclosure, suitable for portable,
process, lab, and field applications.
Multi-unit
connection (up to 8) can be daisy chained together and are
able to run simultaneously.
USB Powered
– BLUE-Wave miniature spectrometers can be powered directly
from your PC USB-2 port. A single strand fiber optic cable or
probe assembly delivers input via standard SMA 905 fiber optic
connector with a choice of cable lengths. The spectrograph optics
are exceptionally robust in a vibration tolerant modular design,
with no moving parts.
Onboard Memory
with pre-set calibrations and spectrometer settings and snap shot
memory to provide instantaneous spectral image from the highly
sensitive CCD with 2048 data points.
High Speed
Electronic Interface can be attached directly to a computers
USB port for high speed data transfer. Options for WiFi/ Ethernet
communication available as well as other interfaces.

Detector
Collection Lens
Above is a detector collection lens (DLENS) which can be added
to the detector window in any BLUE-Wave model spectrometer. When
used with larger diameter fibers (600um and 1000um) the DLENS
can increase the light collecting efficiency by up to 3 times!
This detector upgrade is great for low light application such
as fluorescence, reflectance, or any application where increased
light collection and data acquisition speed are important.

Configurations
Units may be daisy chained via USB-2 hub allowing simple configurations
for dual and multi-beam process applications. 8 BLUE-Wave spectrometers
can be operated at once!
