【Overview】
The AvaSpec-HERO is Avantes flagship spectrometer, built on the High Sensitivity Compact (HSC) optical bench (f=100mm; NA=0.13) with a 1024×58 backthinned CCD detector, balancing high sensitivity and high resolution.
【Key Features】
(1) HSC symmetrical Czerny-Turner bench, 100mm focal length;
(2) 1024×58 backthinned CCD, 1-stage TE cooled (max ∆T=30°C), long integration in low light;
(3) Sensitivity 445,000 counts/µW·ms, SNR 1200:1, dynamic range 40,000;
(4) USB3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet; digital IO for external triggering, shutters and pulsed sources;
(5) Replaceable slit as standard; multiple gratings cover 200-1160nm;
(6) Low noise, excellent SNR and dynamic range.
【Typical Applications】
Low-light fluorescence, demanding Raman, weak-signal spectroscopy, research and industrial spectral analysis.
