HORIBA Scientific’s Synapse Extended InGaAs arrays are the ideal choice for demanding, low-light-level measurements in the near infrared (NIR) spectral region from 1000–2200 nm. Available in 512 × 1 (25 × 250 µm), 512 × 1 (50 × 250 µm), and 1024 × 1 (25 × 250 µm) pixel formats, these InGaAs detectors provide high resolution while maintaining full well capacity. Synapse InGaAs arrays feature a 16-bit dynamic range, are deep thermoelectrically cooled, and use a mechanical shutter for subtraction of the dark background. Metal seals provide a permanent vacuum seal. A plugand-play USB 2.0 interface allows portability and easy setup on PC notebooks and desktop computers with 100% data integrity. Applications include near-IR Raman, photoluminescence measurements of semiconductors, SWCNTs, and nanowires. Detectors with sensitivity from 0.8 µm to 1.7 µm are also available.
