From deep UV up to short-range near infrared absorptions measurements, the Broadcom Qwave is a compact industrial grade spectrometer combining high optical resolution, high dynamic range and high sensitivity that fits into the palm of a hand. The three standard wavelength configurations cover spectral ranges from 220 nm to 1030 nm, and spectral shifts down to a deep UV spectrometer module are possible.
Armed with a high-resolution 3648-pixel linear CCD detector, the Qwave 2 series can cope with much bulkier spectrometer designs, still maintaining a package size of 89.5 mm × 68.0 mm × 19.5 mm. Together with the smart spectrometer software Waves and various communication interfaces, the Qwave is the ideal spectroscopic instrument to be integrated into high performance applications.
