January 17, 2008 - DUNEDIN, FL – Ocean Optics (www.oceanoptics.com), the industry leader in miniature spectrometers, has announced the release of Jaz, a modular spectroscopy suite that will change the way people think about optical-sensing instrumentation.

Jaz is a family of stackable, modular and autonomous components that share common electronics and communications, operating together or separately. Jaz’s modules combine to form a community of smart sensing appliances that can be utilized in lab, field and remote sensing applications.

Jaz features a crossed Czerny-Turner optical bench with  a linear CCD-array detector and grating and slit options for a variety of configurations. The Jaz OLED display has a wide viewing angle and two user-specified configurations. Additionally, the Jaz boasts Ethernet connectivity for internet-addressable sensing, SD card storage and a battery module to allow untethered measurement and data collection.

Jaz also has a UV-VIS light source module, is RoHS compliant and connects to fiber optic accessories such as cuvette holders and fibers.
