Mini-spectrometer TG series
C9406GC, C9913GC, C9914GB
Integrating optical system, image sensor and circuit
Hamamatsu TG series mini-spectrometers are polychromators integrated with optical elements and an image sensor. Light to be measured is guided into the entrance port of TG series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the built-in image sensor is output from the USB port to a PC for data acquisition. Non-cooled type and cooled type are provided. Non-cooled type is a palmtop-size unit and operates on USB bus power. Cooled type allows accurate measurement with low noise by cooling the image sensor. Two models are available: C9913GC (TG-cooled NIR-I) and C9914GB (TG-cooled NIR-II). The TG series comes with sample software, device driver and DLL that let you easily set measurement conditions and acquire, save and graphically display the spectrum data.

Mini-spectrometer TG series
s Optical component layout
TG series mini-spectrometers use a transmission holographic grating made of quartz and precision optical components arranged on a rugged optical base, making it possible to deliver high throughput and highly accurate optical characteristics.

C9406GC, C9913GC, C9914GB
s Connection example (transmission light measurement)
Light to be measured is guided into the entrance port of TG series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the built-in image sensor is output through the USB port to a PC for data acquisition. There are no moving parts inside the unit so stable measurements are obtained at all times. An optical fiber that guides light input from external sources allows a flexible measurement setup.

s Measurement example
· Film thickness measurement (white light interferometry) Thickness of 10 µm thick food wrapping film (polyvinylidene chloride) was measured with C9406GC (TG-NIR).
40000
C9406GC, C9913GC, C9914GB
Note: Principle of film thickness measurement: In film thickness measurement utilizing white light interferometry, an interference spectrum resulting from internal reflections between the front and back surfaces of a film is obtained. The film thickness can then be determined by calculation from the spectral peak count, wavelength range, refractive index of film and incident light angle.
