CCD Caliens camera : POD010020

Principe : the CCD camera is constituted of one optical head directly interfaced with a PC computer through USB port.
Once adjusted, it is possible to sample and operate luminous pictures with the help of complete & easy-to-use software program.

Characteristics:
the sensor is composed of 2048 pixels, 14 µm width (that is to say an usable area of about 30 mm).
Integration time adjustable from 5 ms to 100 ms.
Complete program, Windows compatible.
Provided with “ready-to-use” cables.
The optical head, fitted out with stainless steel rod, Ø10 mm, can be adapted to optical bench.

Spectrometry by Fourier’s transforms with Michelson interferometer:
When carrying out the FFT of an oscillogram, the resulting spectrum is often noise-spoilt.
To reduce these diverse disturbance effects, it is sufficient to add in the Michelson’s apparatus, one laser source (with separator), which is used as a reference.
In taking the FFT option, the camera can record simultaneously two signals (laser + source) & the program will be provided with one time base correction algorythm.
