Sampling System Overview

How Sampling Works

Ocean Optics components function in a sampling system as follows:

1. The user stores reference and dark measurements to correct for instrument response variables.

2. The light transmits through an optical fiber to the sample.

3. The light interacts with the sample.

4. Another optical fiber collects and transmits the result of the interaction to the spectrometer.

5. The spectrometer measures the amount of light and transforms the data collected by the

spectrometer into digital information.

6. The spectrometer passes the sample information to OOI software.

7. OOI software compares the sample to the reference measurement and displays processed spectral

information.

Modular Sampling Accessories

Ocean Optics offers a complete line of spectroscopic accessories for use with the QE65 Pro. Most of our

spectroscopic accessories have SMA connectors for application flexibility. Accordingly, changing the

sampling system components is as easy as unscrewing a connector and replacing an accessory.

Interface Options

The QE65 Pro has both USB and serial port connectors (with the use of an adapter), enabling you to

connect the spectrometer to a desktop or notebook computer via a USB port or serial port. However, you

must create custom software if using the serial port. SpectraSuite software is available if you are

connecting via the USB port.
