OtO Photonics' Phekda-NIR (PD-NIR series) spectrometers are high resolution models featuring a highly configurable Transmissive-Reflective-Transmissive Czerny-Turner structure.
The standard Phekda-NIR model is offered with an operating range of 1522-1578nm (NIRQ) with options for customisation of grating, slit and spectral range within 900nm to 1700nm.
Phekda-NIR features a 512-pixel InGaAs linear sensor (PD2570) with a 32-bit RISC controller.
OtO have developed a compact and rigid optical bench for Phekda-NIR, providing the ideal platform for high resolution measurements with excellent thermal and humidity cycling stability and to minimum variation of resolution and wavelength shift due to shock and vibration.
