DWARF-Star Miniature NIR Spectrometer

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces StellarNet's DWARF-Star NIR spectrometer, designed for portable and OEM applications. It highlights the spectrometer's compact size, robust design, and high-performance capabilities, particularly in the 900-1700nm wavelength range.

Specifications
The DWARF-Star features a high-performance InGaAs detector array with 512 pixels (optional 1024), offering a resolving resolution of 1.25nm. The spectrometer is housed in a rugged metal enclosure measuring 5”x3”x2”. It includes a thermo electric cooler (TEC) for temperature stabilization at -10°C. The device supports USB-2 interface for data transfer, which is 40 times faster than USB-1.

Models and Applications
Several models are available, each optimized for different NIR applications. The spectrometer can be used in industries such as food and drug, chemical, oil and gas, and plastics for process analytical technology. Its small size and rugged design make it suitable for field use, enabling on-site product analysis and quality control.

Software and Features
Each DWARF-Star includes SpectraWiz® Software and a developer’s toolbox with source codes and demo programs. The software supports high-speed spectral data acquisition, time series analysis, and episodic data capture. Post-processing techniques like baseline correction and data smoothing are included, with additional chemometrics packages available for multivariate calibration and analysis.

Performance and Resolution
The spectrometer's optical resolution is determined by the grating range and pixel dispersion. Standard models offer varying ranges and resolutions, with the NIR 512 model covering 900-1700nm and achieving a resolving resolution of 2.50nm. The document provides a table detailing the specifications of different models.

Conclusion
The DWARF-Star NIR spectrometer is a versatile and powerful tool for a wide range of applications, offering high performance in a compact and durable package.

www.StellarNet-Inc.com Analytical Instrumentation Surf the New Wave in Portable Fiber Optic Spectrometry NIR Spectrometers for Portable & OEM Applications StellarNet’s newest NIR spectrometer, the DWARF-Star, is small, robust, and equipped with high performance InGaAs detector array for the 900-1700nm wavelength range and achieves resolving resolutions to 1.25nm. The DWARF-Star features no moving parts and is packaged in a small rugged metal enclosure (5”x3”x2”) for portable, process, and OEM applications. Advancements in electronic and optical design have allowed for size reduction never before achieved in a NIR spectrometer. The InGaAs detector is a Sensors Unlimited linear photo diode array with 512 pixels (1024 optional) 25µ m by 500µ m tall to provide maximum sensitivity. The detector has an integrated thermo electric cooler (TEC) maintained at –10 °C, stabilized within +/-0.1 °C. The NIR spectrometers accept a single strand SMA-905 terminated, low OH, fiber optic cable as input. Several models provide a variety of operational ranges and resolutions suitable for both spectroscopy and optical spectrum analysis. Each DWARF-Star includes free SpectraWiz® Software and a developer’s toolbox of source codes, customizable demo programs, and full spectroscopy applications in LabVIEW, Visual Basic, Delphi Pascal, and MS Visual C. High speed spectral data acquisition with advanced features, such as time series analysis and episodic data capture with rapid sample logging are standard features. Post processing techniques such as baseline correction, data smoothing, and spectral derivatives are included. Additionally, add-on chemometrics packages are available for complete multivariate calibration, analysis, and runtime with the DWARF-Star.
