OtO Photonics RedSparrow NIR MEMS Microspectrometer

AP Technologies Ltd News and PR from AP Technologies Ltd - Published 10 September 2021 AP Technologies is pleased to announce OtO Photonics' new RedSparrow (RS) series ultracompact microspectrometer which extends their proprietary MEMS-based grating-collimator technology into the NIR region.
RedSparrow is extremely compact, measuring just 40 x 40 x 18 mm³ including the removable external control board, dramatically smaller than OtO's own SideWinder C-T NIR spectrometer (-300cm³) which is itself considered to be a compact design.

Despite its compact form-factor RedSparrow's rigid metal package and optical bench provide excellent thermal, humidity and shock/vibration stability performance.

RedSparrow features a 128- (RS1680) or 256-pixel (RS1780) InGaAs linear sensor and is initially offered with a 50µm slit offering high sensitivity with FWHM Resolution of 8-15nm over the full 900-1700nm operating range.

Communication with RS-Series spectrometers is via OtO's optional control board featuring high speed (480Mbps) USB2.0 or 6 user-programmable digital I/Os. There is also an 8-pin extension port and 4-pin UART port.

The inclusion of OtO's SpectraSmart software ensures that RedSparrow can be up-and-running within minutes whilst the availability of a Software Developer Kit for Windows and example code for Linux facilitates integration into a broad range of industrial, medical, pharmaceutical and environmental applications.
