PioneeringFirst to pave the way for array spectrometers with lighting
application software, Labsphere’s high-end spectrometers withIntegral software continue to set the pace. The base design isthe proven Crossed Czerny-Turner spectrograph, with a top of theline electrically-cooled, back-thinned illuminated CCD detector
designed for highly efficient stray-light rejection. Our knowledgeof many years has been applied to yield a spectrometer designthat addresses today’s industry needs. The spectral engine includes
user-activated integrated shutters for real-time dark subtraction
and low uncorrected stray light with intuitive software modules
for research, development and production.

Fast and accurate
The highly-sensitive, back-thinned CCD array of the CDS-2600
spectrometer offers low noise, high-dynamic range, very low straylight and unparalleled ease of use. Labsphere’s CDS-2600 CCD array
spectrometer is a multi-channel spectral analyzer designed forreal-time spectral characterization.

When integrated within a Labsphere light metrology system,
calibration with auxiliary hardware using Integral® software enables
instantaneous acquisition of data that can realize the full range ofspectroradiometric photopic, colorimetric, electrical and thermal
characteristics of the device under test (DUT). The increased
sensitivity of the CDS-2600 facilitates fast, accurate data driven
results that can help increase the rate of product development,
decrease the time to market, and reduce development costs.

Complete yet flexible
The CDS-2600 with software stray light correction yields a highperformance spectrometer designed to accurately support
measurement needs to transition product from research toproduction. When you are ready to increase your capacity,
the integral design and graphical user interface make it easy
to transition from research to production with the same highperformance you demand from the lab and the ease of use
your operations desire.
