Software
-
AvaSoft is our in-house designed software package to control all Avantes spectrometers and a wide range of accessories. The latest version of AvaSoft works with the latest Windows versions. Since the initial version of AvaSoft in 1996, we have released a significant upgrade yearly, featuring improvements and new possibilities.

Calibration Light Sources
-
For wavelength calibration, Avantes offers a variety of sources including Argon, Mercury-Argon, Neon, Zinc, and Cadmium. All Avantes spectrometers are factory wavelength calibrated and do not require recalibration as they have fixed slits and optics. For those customers who wish to do their own calibrations, the AvaLight-CAL light sources can be used for recalibration purposes. For auto-calibration, AvaSoft-Fill provides a calibration procedure to make this easy.

Reflection Probes
-
Reflection probes are used to obtain spectral information of diffuse or specular materials. The light from a light source is sent through six illumination fibers to the sample, and the reflection is measured by a 7th fiber in the center of the reflection probe tip. Discover our reflection probes below.

Dual-Channel Spectrometers
-
Sometimes a single-channel spectrometer is not enough, for example, when you want higher resolution or perform two redundant measurements simultaneously. The AvaSpec dual-channel spectrometers are designed specifically for this purpose. Each spectrometer can be configured independently. The dual-channel can be equipped with two AvaSpec-ULS2048CL or two AvaSpec-ULS4096CL spectrometers.

AvaSpec-Mini
AvaSpec-Mini2048CL
-
Avantes is excited to release the next generation of AvaSpec-Mini spectrometers with CMOS detectors and advanced electronics and communications. Like the original AvaSpec-Mini, the CL series is only the size of a deck of cards, with excellent temperature and wavelength stability. This instrument is easy to take anywhere you like and is very well suited for handheld applications.

SensLine Spectrometers
-
The SensLine series of products is Avantes’ response to customers who require higher performance demanding spectroscopy applications such as fluorescence, luminescence, and Raman. The SensLine product range includes several high-sensitivity, low-noise spectrometers. Several of these instruments feature back-thinned detector technology, some of which feature our high-performance, thermoelectrically cooled detectors. The other models feature standard CCDs, upgraded to high-performing instruments as a result of Avantes’ unique detector cooling technology. The back-thinned CCD detectors featured in the SensLine series are high-quantum efficiency detectors with excellent response in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared range from 200 to 1160 nm.

Spectrometers
-
Since spectroscopy is used for numerous applications, we have defined our products in different lines, as seen below. We offer instruments with a small form factor to integrate into other devices in the CompactLine: high-sensitivity instruments for more demanding applications in the SensLine and spectrometers especially configured for the near-infrared range in our NIRLine. The StarLine spectrometers are our most versatile instruments for general spectroscopy applications.

LED Light Sources
-
LED light sources provide high power at a precise wavelength. A typical application for AvaLight-LED sources is fluorescence. They provide a long lifetime, short warm-up time, and high stability.

Fiber Optics
-
The use of fiber optics as light guidance allows great modularity and flexibility in the setup of an optical measurement system. Optical fibers can be made of many materials, such as plastic, glass, and silicates (SiO2). For high-quality fibre optics, as used in spectroscopic applications, synthetic fused silica (amorphous silicon dioxide) is used, which can be intentionally doped with trace elements to adjust the optical properties of the glass.

Halogen & Deuterium Halogen Light Sources
-
Avantes Deuterium light sources are known for their stable output ad are used for UV absorption or reflection measurements. These can also be used as irradiance calibration sources due to their high stability. The standard AvaLight-DH-S mixes the halogen light with the Deuterium light, thus producing a wide spectral range light source. The output spectrum of Deuterium light sources exhibits several peaks, with a prominent peak at 656 nm. The AvaLight-DH-S-BAL incorporates a dichroic beam splitter installed to minimize these peaks, providing a smooth spectrum from 200-2500 nm.
