Sunshine
Sunshine High-Sensitivity Fibre-Optic Spectrometer
A 2048-pixel spectrometer with 14 µm square pixels and up to 80 % quantum efficiency, for weak signals — Raman, fluorescence and LIBS — where the Aurora’s narrow 8 µm pixels would starve. Raman-specific ranges are available for 532 nm and 785 nm excitation.
