The Ossila USB Spectrometer G2001A1 is a compact optical spectrometer for UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy across 320 nm – 1050 nm. It uses a CCD detector with 1600 pixels, accepts light through an SMA 905 fiber or free space, and reaches a resolution of 2.5 nm (FWHM), making it suitable for studying solutions as well as thin film samples.
The instrument draws its power from a computer or laptop through a USB type-C connection, so no separate power supply is needed. Inside, an Arm Cortex M4 processor works with a 16-bit, 500 kSPS analog-to-digital converter, allowing data transfer of up to 100 fps depending on the PC. Internal and external trigger modes, a rolling integration mode and six I/O ports, including a ground port, help it fit into existing optical setups and work alongside other 5V equipment.
Free spectroscopy software handles background spectra, intensity, transmission/reflection and absorbance measurements, with spectral averaging and accumulation, peak detection, and offset and gain adjustment. The device appears as a COM port and can also be controlled through a serial command library from most programming languages.
