Mini-spectrometer TG series
C9406GC, C9913GC, C9914GB
Hamamatsu TG series mini-spectrometers are polychromators integrated with optical elements and an image sensor. Light to be measured is
guided into the entrance port of TG series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the built-in image sensor is output from the
USB port to a PC for data acquisition. Non-cooled type and cooled type are provided. Non-cooled type is a palmtop-size unit and operates on
USB bus power. Cooled type allows accurate measurement with low noise by cooling the image sensor. Two models are available: C9913GC
(TG-cooled NIR-I) and C9914GB (TG-cooled NIR-II). The TG series comes with sample software, device driver and DLL that let you easily set
measurement conditions and acquire, save and graphically display the spectrum data.
