Fiber optic spectrometers are ideal in UV/VIS absorbance measurements due to their small size, their ability to be introduced in harsh environments via their fiber interface, and their low cost. UV/VIS absorbance measurements involve a myriad of chemical and biochemical applications with several potential research and industrial end uses. This application note discussed UV/VIS absorbance measurements, common system configurations used in these measurements, the advantages of fiber optics, instrument control software, and more.

This application note discusses Avantes’ bundled systems used in LED metrology applications. These systems are typically comprised of spectrometers and spectroradiometers, and offer customers a low cost solution for LED measurements.

Avantes has developed spectrometers, halogen light sources, fiber optic reflection probes, reflection integrating spheres, and more for the gemology industry. These measurement tools are used to measure the characteristics of gems, or to determine if stone has been treated. Some measurements can be quite simple and can be performed with integrating sphere or probes. More advanced measurement techniques can be done through photoluminescence systems or TE cooled spectrometers. This application note discusses Avantes’ capabilities as they relate to gemology measurement.

The StarLine family of high performance spectrometers includes high-speed instruments for process control, high resolution instruments for atomic emissions, and versatile instruments for irradiance and absorbance chemistry. These spectrometers exceed most general spectroscopy demands. This brochure covers the spectrometers in the Avantes StarLine product family.

Spectroscopic reflectrometry is a measurement technique used in thin film metrology applications.  This application note discussed how Avantes’ instruments and fiber optic sampling tools are used in spectroscopic reflectrometry measurements. This technology spans several applications in several industries including, but not limited to solar, semiconductor, and optical coatings measurements.

For almost twenty years, Avantes has developed fiber optic spectroscopy instruments used to measure ultra-violet, visible, and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. This brochure includes information on Avantes’ company history, industries served, spectrometers, fiber optics, light sources, instrument control software, accessories, and more.

Avantes has designed and developed spectroscopy and spectroradiometry systems for the solar industry. These systems can be used in solar applications like process control in the manufacture of thin film photovoltaic panels, direct solar measurements, solar simulator characterization, and more. This application note discusses how Avantes’ spectroscopy and spectroradiometry systems are used in solar measurement applications.

Avantes has developed fiber optics, light sources, and spectrometers for use in fluorescence measurement applications. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a technique used to excite electrons in molecules by subjecting them to a light source which then causes them to emit light of a lower energy. This technique is used in a variety of applications like biomedical research, printing and adhesive manufacturing, environmental remediation, and more. This application note discusses the various solutions Avantes offers for applications involving fluorescence measurements.
