Figure 2-2: Polychromix DTS NIR Spectrometer with Ocean Optics Integrating
Sphere
For additional information about the source, the cuvette holder and the
integrating sphere, refer to the documentation provided with these
components. As an alternative, the spectrometer can be directly connected to
the source to obtain the spectrum provided by the source.
The sample holder and spectrometer are interfaced by a 600 µm core low OH
fiber optic cable with a standard SMA-905 connector that is provided with the
system. When the system is positioned on the table, take care that the cables
are not bent with a small radius; we suggest that all bends have a radius of at
least 10 cm. Once the system is laid out, tape the fiber optic cables to the
laboratory bench so that they are firmly fixed in position to avoid variations in
intensity.
