Ocean Optics to Introduce Maya 2000 Family of Miniature Spectrometers at Photonics West

New Family of Miniature, Back-Thinned FFT-CCD Detector Spectrometers to be Featured in Booth# 927

 

January 17, 2008 - Dunedin, FL – Ocean Optics (www.oceanoptics.com), the industry leader in miniature spectrometers will be introducing its new family of Maya 2000 high-sensitivity back-thinned 2D FFT-CCD spectrometers at this year’s Photonics West in Booth# 927.

Particularly suited to low light-level, UV-sensitive applications, the Maya 2000 and the Maya 2000-Pro offer greater than 90% quantum efficiency, high dynamic range and excellent UV response at prices under $6,000.

While the Maya 2000 and Maya 2000-Pro offer similar performance for most parameters, the Maya 2000 has a slightly faster readout time while the Maya 2000-Pro provides a better dynamic range and signal-to-noise. Both spectrometers feature:

- 90% quantum efficiency

- USB 2.0 interface

- Low-noise electronics

- 14 grating options

- Detector collection lens option for enhanced signal collection

- Fully programmable strobe signals (single or continuous)

Maya 2000 Series spectrometers are ideal for low light-level applications such as fluorescence, DNA sequencing and Raman analysis.

The Ocean Optics team will be introducing this new technology and performing experiments for booth visitors. Additionally, the company will provide on-site quotes and technical support for the full range of products throughout the entire conference.
