For ultra-fast spectral acquisition the AvaSpec-Fast offers the best solution. Up to 5637 spectra can be stored at 0.20 ms per scan using Avantes’ unique store-to-RAM functionality
Depending on the configuration chosen, between 1254 and 5637 spectra can be stored during one burst.
The AvaSpec-FAST series is available in five different configurations; the difference being the number of active pixels. More pixels provide higher resolution or more bandwidth, but slower minimum integration time. For all models, start/stop pixels can be set in our software to increase the number of scans stored on board over a shorter wavelength range.
The AvaSpec-FAST can be configured in CR or SS mode. CR, or continuous run, mode means a single external trigger (through the DB26-connector) results in a customer-set number of scans automatically to be measured. SS-mode, for single scan, means a single spectrum is acquired at every external trigger. CR or SS mode must be specified at the time of order.
Possible configurations are single or dual channel, desktop or Rack-mounted. The instrument is available with all the options and gratings of the AvaSpec-ULS2048.
