PC2000 PC Plug-in Fiber Optic Spectrometer
The PC2000 is 2048-element linear CCD-array fiber optic spectrometer mounted on a 1 MHz A/D card that
fits easily into an ISA-bus slot in the PC. The spectrometer has a 25-
µ
m slit and provides a resolution of 1.5
nm (FWHM). The 12-bit, 8-channel A/D card is single-ended and half-length. Though the standard
CHEM2000 and CHEM2000-UV-VIS are single-channel systems, additional slave spectrometer channels
can be purchased at any time to expand wavelength range or perform multiple tasks.
Light Source/Sample Holder
The ISS-2 Integrated Sampling System that comes with the CHEM2000 is a versatile light source/sample
holder with a tungsten-halogen bulb, a built-in filter slot for color-correcting and other uses and a sample
holder for 1-cm square cuvettes. The light source/sample holder is SMA-terminated for easy coupling to
optical fibers and has a 5-mm diameter f/2 collimating lens.
The ISS-UV-VIS Integrated Sampling System comes with the CHEM2000-UV-VIS. This light
source/sample holder has deuterium and tungsten bulbs, and a cuvette holder for 1-cm cuvettes. It occupies
7-1/2" x 4" and weighs <1 lb. The cuvette holder attaches directly to the light source and has a 5-mm
diameter f/2 collimating lens to collect the light and funnel it to the solarization-resistant optical fiber.
Optical Fiber
Included as part of the CHEM2000 is a 400-µm diameter, single-strand UV/VIS optical fiber that couples
easily via SMA terminations to the PC2000 and light source/sample holder. This silica-core, silica-clad
fiber is 2 meters in length. For the CHEM2000-UV-VIS, the included optical fiber is a 300-
µ
m diamter
solarization-resistant patch cord that carries light from the sample to the spectrometer.
OOIChem Spectrometer Operating Software
OOIChem is our standard Windows operating software for the CHEM2000 and CHEM2000-UV-VIS
systems. It is a basic acquisition and display software that provides a real-time interface to a variety of
spectral-processing functions. OOIChem allows users to perform basic spectroscopic measurements such as
absorbance, transmission, relative irradiance, and concentration. OOIChem operates with Windows 95,
Windows 98 and Windows NT. Visit our web site at www.OceanOptics.com/Software_Updates.asp to
download free OOIChem upgrades.
OOIBase32 Spectrometer Operating Software
OOIBase32 is our standard spectrometer operating software that we provide free of charge to all customers.
While OOIChem is a basic acquisition and display program, OOIBase32 is user-customizable and a much
more advanced acquisition and display program. With OOIBase32 you have the ability to control all
system parameters; collect data from up to 8 spectrometer channels simultaneously and display the results
in a single spectral window; perform reference monitoring and time acquisition experiments; and use
numerous editing, viewing and spectral processing functions. At any time, users can receive free
OOIBase32 updates from our web site at www.OceanOptics.com/Software_Updates.asp.
These are the standard components for the CHEM2000 and CHEM2000-UV-VIS systems. However, we
offer a complete line of light sources, sampling holders, in-line filter holders, flow cells, and other sampling
devices; an extensive line of optical fibers and probes; and collimating lenses, attenuators, diffuse
reflectance standards and integrating spheres. All components have SMA terminations so that changing the
sampling system is as easy as unscrewing a connector and adding a new component or accessory.
This modular approach -- components are easily mixed and matched -- offers remarkable applications
flexibility. Users pick and choose from hundreds of products to create distinctive systems for an almost
endless variety of optical-sensing applications
