Spectrophotometer using CCD detector
A CCD spectrometer is a spectrometer that uses a charge-coupled device detector to convert dispersed light into measurable electrical signals. In simple terms, the optical system spreads light by wavelength, and the CCD array records the intensity of each wavelength channel. It is widely used in chemical analysis, light source testing, fluorescence measurement, material inspection, color analysis. Spectroscopy detectors rely on photons hitting matter and creating signals we can measure. It is divided up into a large number of light-sensitive small areas known as pixels, which can be used to assemble an image of the area of interest. A CCD is a silicon-based multi-channel array detector of UV, visible and. CCDs represented a revolutionary step forward in detecting at UV to near-IR wavelengths, particularly for spectroscopy. The purpose of this document is to help you to select the most appropriate options for your application. Virtually all spectroscopy between 200 nm and 1100 nm is performed.
