Mini-spectrometer TG series
C9406GC, C9913GC, C9914GB
Integrating optical system, image sensor and circuit
Hamamatsu TG series mini-spectrometers are polychromators integrated with optical elements and an image sensor. Light to be measured is
guided into the entrance port of TG series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the built-in image sensor is output from the
USB port to a PC for data acquisition. Non-cooled type and cooled type are provided. Non-cooled type is a palmtop-size unit and operates on
USB bus power. Cooled type allows accurate measurement with low noise by cooling the image sensor. Two models are available: C9913GC
(TG-cooled NIR-I) and C9914GB (TG-cooled NIR-II). The TG series comes with sample software, device driver and DLL that let you easily set
measurement conditions and acquire, save and graphically display the spectrum data.
Features
Applications
C9406GC (TG-NIR)
Water content measurement
Optical communication component testing
Film thickness measurement
High throughput due to transmission grating made of quartz
Highly accurate optical characteristics
G9406GC: No external power supply required
(Uses USB bus power) *1
Low noise measurement (Cooled type)

Process control for chemical products
*1: C9913GC, C9914GB: Each requires 5 V and 12 V
power supplies.
*2: A conversion factor for converting the image sensor
pixel number into a wavelength is recorded in the
module. A calculation factor for converting the A/D
converted count into the input light intensity is not pro-
vided.
