Description
The Ocean SR6 is a high-performance, ultra-compact spectrometer engineered for precision measurements in the UV, visible, and near-infrared ranges.
Its advanced optical bench design ensures outstanding wavelength stability and low stray light, while a 3500:1 SNR enables accurate measurements even in low-light conditions.
At just 88 × 63.5 × 31.4 mm and weighing ~254 g, the SR6 integrates seamlessly into OEM devices or portable systems. The unit supports multiple trigger modes for synchronized measurements and offers OceanDirect™ SDK support for complete control of acquisition parameters and data processing.
The SR6 is a versatile tool for applications such as absorbance and transmission testing, fluorescence measurements, reflectance analysis, environmental monitoring, and industrial quality control. Whether deployed in the lab or embedded in custom equipment, the SR6 combines speed, accuracy, and flexibility in one powerful package. It serves as both a standalone setup for laboratory use and a customizable system for high-volume industrial and OEM applications. The spectrometer is available in models covering wavelength ranges from approximately 180 to 1100 nm, with entrance slit options ranging from 5 µm to 200 µm. This flexibility allows users to optimize configurations by coupling the spectrometer with light sources, optical fibers, and sampling optics, tailoring it to meet the specific needs of their applications.
The SR6 spectrometer operates seamlessly with OceanView spectroscopy software and includes OceanDirect, a powerful cross-platform Software Developers Kit with an Application Programming Interface. OceanDirect provides a library of functions that enable users to write custom software solutions, optimize spectrometer performance, and access critical data for analysis. The High Speed Averaging Mode, a hardware-accelerated signal averaging tool included in OceanDirect, significantly enhances the spectrometer's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) per unit time, promoting higher quality spectra and more accurate results.
Additional functionality of the SR6 includes trigger mode options that enable actions such as synchronizing spectral acquisition to external events or timing spectral acquisition to meet specific sampling conditions. This feature provides accurate timing and synchronization between the SR6 spectrometer and other devices, adding another layer of versatility to your spectral measurements. The SR6's compact dimensions and lightweight design further enhance its usability, making it a practical choice for a variety of settings.
