Mini-spectrometers
TM series
C10082CA/C10083CA series
High sensitivity type (integrated with back-
thinned type CCD image sensor)
TM series mini-spectrometers are polychromators integrated with optical elements, an image sensor and a driver circuit. Light
to be measured is guided into the entrance port of TM series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the built-in
image sensor is output from the USB port to a PC for data acquisition. They are high sensitivity mini-spectrometers employing a
back-thinned type CCD image sensor. Their sensitivity is about two orders of magnitudes higher than CMOS type making TM se-
ries even more ideal for low-light-level measurement. The C10082CAH and C10083CAH are high resolution type (spectral resolu-
tion: 1 nm Typ.).
Mini-spectrometer TM series comes supplied with free evaluation software that allows setting measurement conditions, ac-
quiring and saving data, and displaying graphs. Original measurement software can be designed on an end-user’s side as
DLL’s function specification is disclosed.
Features
Applications
Integrated with back-thinned type CCD image sensor:
Sensitivity is about two orders of magnitude higher than
CMOS type.
High resolution: 1 nm (C10082CAH, C10083CAH)
Low-light-level measurement such as fluorescence measurement
Semiconductor process control
Evaluation of light source characteristics such as LED
Variable spectral resolution by selecting slit width and NA
High throughput due to transmission grating made of quartz
Easy to install into equipment
Wavelength conversion factor*¹ is recorded in internal memory.
Supprts external trigger input*²
*1: A conversion factor for converting the image sensor pixel number into a wavelength is recorded in the module. A calculation factor
for converting the A/D converted count into the input light intensity is not provided.
*2: Coaxial cable for external trigger input is sold separately. Refer to the “Mini-spectrometers Selection Guide” for details on external
triggers.
