Description
The Alpha (AL) Series spectrometers are designed for ultra-high-resolution OCT applications, delivering exceptional wavelength stability and sensitivity across the 820–860 nm region. Built around a fully transmissive grating and a proprietary lens design with patented alignment, the Alpha Series achieves 0.02 nm spectral resolution – ideal for eye, skin, biomedical, and metal-welding OCT systems. Using high-speed e2V Octoplus CMOS line-scan cameras operating up to 250 kHz, the Alpha provides rapid data acquisition, precise depth imaging, and stable long-term performance. With USB 3.0 or CameraLink interfaces, single-mode fiber input, and rugged mechanical construction, the Alpha Series supports both research-grade and OEM integration.
