Our next-generation high-resolution spectrometer is a novel combination of optics and electronics that is ideal for applications such as characterizing lasers, measuring gas absorbance, and determining atomic emission lines. The HR4000 is available for beginning at $4619.
The HR4000 Spectrometer is our next-generation high-resolution spectrometer. The HR4000 has a 3648-element CCD-array detector from Toshiba that enables optical resolution as precise as 0.02 nm (FWHM). The HR4000 is responsive from 200-1100 nm, but the specific range and resolution depend on your grating and entrance slit choices. This novel combination of optics and electronics is ideal for applications such as characterizing lasers, measuring gas absorbance, and determining atomic emission lines.
The HR4000’s onboard microcontroller provides you with considerable flexibility in controlling the spectrometer and accessories. Through a 30-pin connector, you can implement all operating parameters in the software: control light sources, create processes, and retrieve information on external objects. You have access to 10 user-programmable digital inputs/outputs for interfacing to other equipment; one analog input and one analog output; and a pulse generator for triggering other devices. (Programming the GPIOs requires SpectraSuite, OmniDriver or one of our other device drivers.)
The HR4000 interfaces to a computer via USB 2.0 or RS-232 serial port. When combined with the Remora Network Adapter, the USB interface allows you communication via Ethernet and/or wireless network. When using the serial port, the HR4000 requires a single 5-volt power supply (not included). Data unique to each spectrometer are programmed into a memory chip on the HR4000; our SpectraSuite Spectroscopy Operating Software reads these values for easy setup and hot swapping among computers, whether they run on Linux, Mac or Windows operating systems.
