Multichannel Spectrometer and Hyperspectral Line Imager

HORIBA has developed a high-performance rugged spectroscopy platform that is factory-configurable for use in a multichannel or hyperspectral imaging system. This system can be configured with our Sylent® 2D sCMOS camera, low-cost cameras, or even customer-supplied sensors. In hyperspectral imaging applications, this system can be used as a line-scanning instrument (push-broom) that collects full spectral data simultaneously across the input slit height.

Variations

Multichannel (M135) vs. lens-based or bare slit (H135)

Two gratings to choose from: UV-NIR or VIS-NIR

Default sensors are the Sylent sCMOS cameras (cooled to -25° C or uncooled), or any customer preferred sensor

Spectral Line Width Graphs

The wavelength resolution specification establishes the maximum width (FWHM) of all spectral lines on all channels. This is a more stringent requirement than using the mean as the specification.

A lens-based hyperspectral H135’s resolution is dependent on the grating, slit, and f/# of the lens used.

¹ Max spectral line width (FWHM) for all peaks in the image.
² Versus a sensor row.
³ The Crosstalk % can be further reduced with more dead space between channels. Measured on one channel (off), with all other channels illuminated. See Cross Talk Calculation figure on pages following.
⁴ Stray light measured using a BP filter: Baseline light level (outside the band) divided by the BP peak (unsaturated).
⁵ Smile is eliminated by using channel calibration coefficients.

Spectral Resolution vs. Slit Size

Best Spectral Resolution (nm)*
Slit Width (μm)	22	35	45	100	200
UV-NIR Grating (280 nm blaze)	2.0	2.7	5.3	6.5	12.3
VIS-NIR Grating (575 nm blaze)	1.0	1.5	1.9	3.8	7.2

* Ignoring pixel limitations, which are sensor-dependent. Specification is the maximum width (FWHM) of all spectral lines on all channels (or rows) on the image. Any size slit is orderable (for OEM quantities).
