Applications of the Fiber Optic Spectrometer Transmission System

1 Introduction

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, spectroscopic analysis has become an indispensable tool in modern scientific research and industrial inspection. As a high-precision and high-efficiency spectroscopic analysis instrument, the fiber optic spectrometer has garnered significant attention due to its unique technology.

2 Principle of the Fiber Optic Spectrometer Transmission Testing System

The fiber optic spectrometer transmission testing system primarily consists of a light source, optical fiber, spectrometer, and data processing system. The light source provides a stable optical signal, the optical fiber acts as the transmission medium for the optical signal, the spectrometer converts the optical signal into an electrical signal for processing and analysis, and the data processing system outputs the test results.

In transmission testing, the light signal emitted by the light source passes through the sample. Part of the light signal is absorbed by the sample, while the remaining light signal passes through the sample and is received by the spectrometer. By analyzing the intensity and distribution of the transmitted light signal, the spectrometer can obtain the transmission spectrum of the sample, thus providing information about the sample's composition, structure, and optical properties. The formula is as follows:

In the formula, T represents the transmittance, Sample is the intensity value of the transmitted signal through the sample, Ref is the intensity value of the transmitted signal through the reference sample, and Dark is the background spectral data value.

The suitability of the integrating sphere bracket is strong, with advantages such as flexible setup. However, it requires high operational proficiency and is highly susceptible to environmental influences. On the other hand, integrating sphere data is highly reliable, providing uniform light output and strong resistance to interference. However, it tends to be expensive, with high maintenance costs. The actual test results are as follows:

As shown above, using the transmission bracket system to set up the Jinsp SR50C for testing the transmittance of the 850nm long-pass filter, the curve is smooth and stable, and the testing effect of the cutoff wavelength is evident. Testing the gelatin sample, due to its irregular surface, the gelatin sample was tested using the transmission integrating sphere system, and the transmittance curve varied significantly from 350nm to 1000nm, effectively capturing the sample's transmission data.
