High precision! The MPM-2000 Fibre Optic Multiplexer from Mikropack is

The Optical Multiplexer is available in a one I/O version for connec- ting a light source or a spectrometer to 16 channels, and a two I/O version for connec- ting both a light source and a spectrometer to 8 channels each. These are available in both UV/VIS (250- 800nm) and VIS/NIR (350-2000nm) versions. The Multiplexer inter- faces to a PC via an RS-232 port and comes with software and a driver for complete PC control.

a high precision instrument that can optically couple a light source to either 8 or 16 outputs in sequential order. Additionally, it can also be used to optically couple a spectrometer to either 8 or 16 inputs. are found in industries such as chemistry, pharmaceutical, laboratory and glass where multiple locations need to be measured with multiple probes, all with one spectrometer channel and/or light source. Multiplexers often

A USB version is also available. The software enables full control of the switching order, switching delay time and system calibration. Mikropack GmbH – Germany Fax : +49 71134 169685 Email : spektroskopie@mikropack.de Website : www.mikropack.de

The MPM-2000 Fibre Optic Multiplexer

▲

The MPM-2000 provides accurate measurements with a repeatability of 99% and offers optical throughput of greater than 60%. The light is distributed in sequential order, with switching times between channels of less than 150 milliseconds.

The MPM-2000 features a precisely controlled DC motor on a rotator block.

An encoder converts the incremental movements into a digital pulsed output. Each channel features a collimating lens connecting to an internal optical fibre system.
