HORIBA Scientific’s Synapse InGaAs arrays are the ideal choice for demanding, low-light-level measurements in the near infrared (NIR) spectral region from 800–1700 nm. Available in 512 × 1 (25 × 500 µm), 512 × 1 (50 × 500 µm), and 1024 × 1 (25 × 500 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 plug-and-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 1 µm to 2.2 µm are also available.
