The QE Pro from Ocean Optics is a high-sensitivity, back-thinned CCD array spectrometer. The device has outstanding quantum efficiency, wide dynamic range and extremely low noise operation
Stray light limits the maximum absorbance level achievable with a given spectrometer. Once the stray light limit is reached, sample dilution or a smaller pathlength is required to measure more concentrated samples. In this application note, we show the impact of stray light on the maximum absorbance level and describe how optimizing the choice of light source can minimize stray light and increase the maximum absorbance measured.

Choosing a spectrometer for your new product is similar to choosing a spectrometer for your lab experiment. However, there are additional considerations that relate to making a product tailored to your application requirements, to the growing scale of your business and to the specific needs of your customers.

Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
