The compact high-sensitivity spectrometer S90-IR contains a non-cooled linear InGaAs image sensor, and is recommended for any spectroscopic applications in the NIR spectrum range such as fluorescence, reflection, transmittance, photometric measurements and other researches that do not require long-time signal storage.
The high-aperture optical scheme of the S90-IR has no moving parts. The S90-IR case is monolithic and ensures long-time stability of parameters.
The S90-IR spectrometer is easy and convenient to use: it is calibrated by the manufacturer, is controlled and powered from the PC via Full-Speed USB interface. Light input with the use of quartz optical fiber provides flexibility of instrumentation arrangement. The spectrometer has the entrance slit of fixed width and may be used without optical fiber.

1) Signal level — 50% of saturation. Exposure time is 10 ms.
2) Anti-blooming – sensor’s feature eliminating overflow of charges from over-exposed pixels to neighboring ones.
3) Maximum exposure time is deemed to be the time at which dark signal makes up 25% of the dynamic range at the ambient temperature +25°C.
4) The detector provides two operation modes: wide dynamic range or high sensitivity. Parameters indicated in the table are for the wide dynamic range mode.
When placing an order, you should choose the number of grating lines (i.e. spectral resolution of your instrument), as well as the spectral range for operation. For your convenience the table below contains average values of grating dispersion, spectral resolution and simultaneous recording interval of the CCD-detector.
| Diffraction gratings, lines/mm | 150 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 600 |
| — spectral range of InGaAs detector sensitivity, nm | 780 — 1700 nm | ||||
| — multichannel array bandpass (average), nm | 954 | 710 | 464 | 320 | 210 |

EXAMPLE: If you are interested in the grating 200 lines/mm (average spectral resolution 3.4nm), it remains to choose a location of simultaneous recording interval 710nm within the possible spectral range of 780-1700nm, for instance, the S90-IR spectrometer operating in the range 990-1700nm with 3.4nm resolution.
Upon Your request, the S90-IR spectrometer can be equipped with high-order separating compound filter designed for operation with broadband spectra.
