Performance characteristics of a low-cost, field-deployable miniature CCD spectrometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Miniature spectrometers incorporating array detectors are becoming a viable, low-cost option for field and process deployments. The performance characteristics of one such instrument are reported and compared with those of a conventional benchtop instrument. The parameters investigated were wavelength repeatability, photometric linearity, instrumental noise (photometric precision) and instrumental drift.

Monte Carlo simulation for the prediction of precision of absorbance measurements with a miniature CCD spectrometer
The precision characteristics of the absorbance measurements obtained with a low-cost miniature spectrometer incorporating an array detector were evaluated. Uncertainties in absorbance measurements were due to a combination of non-uniform light intensity and detector response over the wavelength range examined (350-850 nm), in conjunction with the digitization of the intensity indications and t...
متن کاملINSPEC2T: Inexpensive Spectrometer Color Camera Technology
Modern spectrometer equipment tends to be expensive, thus increasing the cost of emerging systems that take advantage of spectral properties as part of their operation. This paper introduces a novel technique that exploits the spectral response characteristics of a traditional sensor (i.e. CMOS or CCD) to utilize it as a low-cost spectrometer. Using the raw Bayer pattern data from a sensor, we ...
متن کاملDeployable Reflectors for Small Satellites
A key limitation for future Small Satellite communications and radar missions will be available antenna reflector aperture. Two types of reflectors are dominant for satellite RF systems today, rigid, single-piece reflectors and deployable mesh reflectors. Single-piece reflectors are limited to the aperture that fits inside a launch vehicle without packaging the reflective surface. Mesh reflecto...
متن کاملContinuous Measurements of Dissolved Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe Ratios with a Field-Deployable Gas Equilibration Mass Spectrometer.
Noble gases dissolved in natural waters are useful tracers for quantifying physical processes. Here, we describe a field-deployable gas equilibration mass spectrometer (GEMS) that provides continuous, real-time measurements of Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe mole ratios in natural waters. Gas is equilibrated with a membrane contactor cartridge and measured with a quadrupole mass spectrometer, after in-line ...
متن کاملA microelectromechanical systems-enabled, miniature triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.
Miniaturized mass spectrometers are becoming increasingly capable, enabling the development of many novel field and laboratory applications. However, to date, triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometers, the workhorses of quantitative analysis, have not been significantly reduced in size. Here, the basis of a field-deployable triple quadrupole is described. The key development is a highly minia...
