Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) is teaming up with Wasatch Photonics,
Inc. at electronica 2012 (November 13-16) to stage a “Name That
Beer” demonstration using the Wasatch Photonics Stroker 785L Raman
Spectrometer. Incorporating ADI’s A/D converter technology, the
compact Raman laser spectrometer will distinguish from among 10
brands of German beer by reading the signature spectrum of each.
The demonstration will be held at the Analog
Devices booth (Hall A4 Stand 159). The Stroker 785L combines
a ƒ/1.3 spectrometer using a free-space VPH (volume phase
holographic) grating, a stabilized 785-nm laser, and a scientific
CCD camera that integrates ADI’s precision A/D converter
technology.

“The Stroker 785L can identify substances by optically probing
the inherent molecular vibrational fingerprints through measurement
of the laser-induced amplitude and frequency shift of the scattered
light. This compact system can be used in pharmaceutical, narcotic
and explosives identification in real time – and from a safe
distance,” said Scott Norton, VP Engineering at Wasatch Photonics.
“This demonstration offers engineers an example of how
laboratory-based performance can be achieved in a compact form
factor by combining high-quality parts and innovation in
electrical, optical and mechanical engineering.”
About Wasatch Photonics’ Stroker 785L Raman Spectrometer with
785 nm Laser
The Wasatch Photonics’ Stroker 785L combines Wasatch’s Stroker
ƒ/1.3 Spectrometer technology with its proprietary free space VPH
grating, a customized high-performance CCD camera that integrates
ADI’s AD7980 16-Bit, 1 MSPS PulSAR® A/D Data Converter, and a
stabilized 785 nm laser package, to deliver the highest throughput
in a miniature Raman spectrometer on the market. The front end
optical module matches the ƒ/1.3 spectrometer input to maintain
maximum efficiency. High performance hard coated filters are used
to maximize transmission and minimize Rayleigh scattering. A 120mW
785 nm laser is TEC and VBG (volume Bragg grating) stabilized
resulting in ultra-stable performance over time and
temperature.
