PC2000-UV-VIS Spectrometer

The PC2000-UV-VIS Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer is a low-cost, general-purpose instrument for absorbance, reflectance and emission measurements. Unlike Ocean Optics external spectrometers, our PC2000-UV-VIS is pre-configured with a grating, order-sorting detector coating and entrance slit that make the spectrometer versatile enough for a variety of applications.

The PC2000-UV-VIS has been discontinued. It has been replaced with the USB4000-UV-VIS Spectrometer.

The PC2000-UV-VIS consists of a low-cost, 2048-element linear CCD-array fiber optic PC plug-in spectrometer mounted on a half-length, 1 MHz ISA-bus A/D converter. This sturdy spectrometer-A/D converter combination fits easily into a slot in the PC. The PC2000-UV-VIS is pre-set to a 200-850 nm wavelength range (click here for grating efficiency), and comes with a UV2 Detector Upgrade, multi-bandpass order-sorting detector coating and 25 mm entrance slit for high-resolution (to 1.5 nm FWHM) performance. Operating software is also included.

The "external" version of the PC2000-UV-VIS is the S2000-UV-VIS, which interfaces to the PC via an ISA-bus or PCMCIA-type A/D converter. Custom PC2000 PC Plug-in Spectrometer configurations are also available. 

The light sources and sampling optics used with the PC2000-UV-VIS are priced separately. Complete spectrophotometric systems are available for less than $4,000.

The PC2000-UV-VIS Spectrometer features a compact optical bench coupled to a 2048-element linear CCD-array detector. The spectrometer accepts light energy transmitted through single-strand optical fiber and disperses it via a fixed grating (set for 200-850 nm) across the CCD array. An SMA 905 connector allows for easy coupling to Ocean Optics' comprehensive line of fiber optic light sources and accessories.

Specifications

Ocean Optics miniature fiber optic spectrometers offer high performance at low cost, in a convenient, modular package. Optical performance varies according to a number of factors, including the grating's groove density and the entrance optics' size -- as well as the application itself (for example, low vs. high light level applications).

Detector Specifications

Detector: 2048-element linear silicon CCD array
CCD elements: 2048 elements @ 14 mm x 200 mm per element
Well depth (@ 600 nm): 160,000 photons
Sensitivity (estimated): 86 photons/count
2.9 x 10-17 joule/count
2.9 x 10-17 watts/count (for 1-second integration)
Detector range: 200-1100 nm
Useable range: 200-850 nm
Integration time: 3 milliseconds to 60 seconds (with 1 MHz A/D converter)

For the PC2000-UV-VIS, performance specifications reflect a configuration that includes a 600 lines/mm grating and 25 mm entrance slit.

Optics Specifications

Grating: 600 lines/mm, set to 200-850 nm (blazed at 300 nm)
Slit: 25 mm width (height is 1 mm)
Order-sorting: Single-piece, multi-bandpass detector coating to eliminate second-order effects from 200-850 nm
Resolution: 1.5 nm (FWHM)
Stray light: < 0.05% at 600 nm
< 0.10% at 435 nm
< 0.10% at 250 nm
Fiber optic connector: SMA 905 to single-strand optical fiber (0.22 NA)

PC2000-UV-VIS A/D Converter Specifications

Board architecture/design: half-length ISA-bus converter for single slot in desktop PC
