AvaSpec-2048L Fiber Optic Spectrometer with larger pixels
AvaSpec-2048L
The AvaSpec-2048L Fiber Optic Spectrometer
has been added to the Avantes product line
since January 2009 and has many technical
specifications comparable to the standard
AvaSpec-2048. The difference is the CCD
detector, the AvaSpec-2048L uses the Sony
ILX511 detector whereas the AvaSpec-2048 uses
the ILX554B detector.
The AvaSpec-2048L is very useful for
applications where larger fiber entrance
diameter needs to be projected on the larger
CCD detector pixels of 14x200µm height.
The AvaSpec-2048L also has a better signal to noise performance and shows no peak inversion and
dark increase at the end of the detector array at longer integration times. The FWHM resolution of
the 2048L is ca 20% less good than for the standard 2048 and also non-linearity is a little less, so a
NL-calibration per channel is recommended.
All options for the AvaSpec-2048 are also available on the AvaSpec-2048L.
