Many scientific and industrial applications require building custom spectrometers with optics, CCD line cameras , and spectrometer software. Developing the spectrometer software with all the necessary features is often challenging and time consuming even for professional programmers. When only one or a few spectrometers are built the time and cost of software development can greatly exceed that of hardware development. There is a need for a CCD line camera that comes with full-featured spectrometer software.

Mightex’s SSE-1304-U/UW optical spectrometer sensor engine (SSE) includes the following two components:

1. Mightex 3,648-pixel CCD Line Camera, and
2. Mightex Spectrometer Software.

To build a complete spectrometer, the user will set up his own optics (spectrograph) and place the line camera at the focal plane of the spectrograph. The spectrometer software provides a powerful set of spectrometer functions such as wavelength calibration, dark/bright references, spectrum display, and file management.

Mightex SSE-1304-U/UW optical spectrometer sensor engine releases users from the burden of programming spectrometer functions so that they are able to build their spectrometers much more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Mightex’s SSE-1304-U includes a cost-effective high-performance B/W board-level line camera , based on a single-line, 3,648-pixel CCD chip with USB2.0 (480 Mb/s) interface. Setting up SSE-1304-U is very easy, the user simply installs Mightex spectrometer software onto any desktop or notebook PC and then connects the USB cable from the line camera to the PC. There is no need for installing a DAC card, or using an external power supply. SSE-1304-U also comes with a line camera SDK for further development by the user.

The ‘window-less’ version of the spectrometer sensor engine, SSE-1304-UW, has the glass plate in front of the image sensor removed, and hence it is more sensitive to UV and is also more suitable for applications where coherent light sources such as lasers are used.
