HORIBA Jobin Yvon supplies a complete range of OEM imaging miniature spectrographs and spectrometers optimized for use with CCD and Photodiode array detectors to operate from the UV through to the IR. These mini spectrometer units are available in a variety of focal lengths and resolutions and incorporate aberration corrected, high efficiency concave holographic gratings for superior throughput.
Each compact fiber optic spectrometer and spectrograph includes an optical slit, to be specified by the customer, located behind the SMA connector. To optimize adjustments, we can assemble your CCD or PDA detectors with our miniature fiber optic spectrographs at our factory.
Spectral resolution customized to meet your requirements.

(*) Typical Linear dynamic range:
Because the A/D dynamic range (14 bits, 16 bits...) of the converter alone is not necessarily representative of the full detector system dynamic range, we measure this typical signal to noise ratio as the linear full well capacity (full dynamic) divided by the readout noise, where the linearity is better than 1%.
Please call or email us to discuss your signal to noise requirements in your application.
(**) Need High Dynamic Range?
Our spectrometers can be fitted with other Photo Diode Arrays, such as the Hamamatsu PDA S3904-1024 for a linear dynamic range of up to 12,000:1 for example.
(***) Need High Sensitivity for Fluorescence or Raman Applications?
We offer OEM low cost electronics for these high performance CCD detectors: Hamamatsu S9840 high UV sensitivity front- illuminated CCD, Hamamatsu back thinned CCD S7031-1006 and E2V high end CCD chips (front- illuminated, lumogen coated, back thinned, open electrode...).
Colorimeters, Spectrophotometers, Analytical chemistry, Process monitoring, Medical instruments, Telecommunications, Semiconductors...
Design customizations for OEM volume customers are possible for each part of the spectrometer: Spectrograph, CCD or PDA chip selection and electronics. Exclusivity on a design can also be contracted.
Unhappy with your current stray light rejection or low throughput fiber spectrometer?
HORIBA Jobin Yvon offers an affordable and high performance replacement solution in its compact spectrographs which:
- Integrate concave holographic diffraction gratings that cut losses due to astigmatism.
- Feature high collection optics (F/#2 optics) for superior throughput.
- Eliminate extra mirrors found in other optical spectrometer designs.
Need to monitor a reference signal?
HORIBA Jobin Yvon realizes that OEM customers wish to use lower cost lasers or light sources which may not feature optimum stability. Its line of imaging spectrographs allows you to use 2-D CCD detectors which can simultaneously record your light source drifts or spikes for correction purposes during the same exposure.
Need to monitor multiple spectra at once?
A high performance imaging spectrograph can also record 5-10 spectra coming from 10 different fiber optics channels, without crosstalk between the various signals. HORIBA Jobin Yvon even designed a spectrograph that could separate 100 channels along the vertical axis of a CCD. Our imaging spectrographs can be fitted with 2D CCD chips such as the Sony ICX 285 CCD sensor or the lower cost Sony ICX 414 CCD sensor (imaging spectroscopy, reference monitoring) or with the EEV 2-D high performance Charge Coupled Devices. Consult us about special designs.
Considering a CCD chip which we don't list?
Our electronics team will be happy to meet your engineering team to discuss your specification requirements for volume orders. We have developed full OEM CCD electronics sets in 3 months. We transfer our knowledge of high end spectroscopy CCD electronics with high signal to noise into OEM compact modules with customer specified dimensions and shape factors. We, the OEM division, are specialists of COST REDUCTION combined with PERFORMANCE MAINTAINING.
