How Key Parameters Affect Experiments

Specifications should be interpreted in the context of the sample characteristics and research objectives. The following information is intended to assist with configuration selection.

Multiple Excitation Wavelengths
Different wavelengths affect fluorescence background, Raman response, penetration depth, and the degree of light-induced sample damage. Select 405, 532, 633, or 785 nm according to the material type and signal characteristics, with 1064 nm available for selected configurations.
Single- and Three-Channel Configurations
Single-channel systems are suitable for routine studies using fixed excitation conditions. Three-channel systems integrate multiple excitation wavelengths, making it easier to compare the spectral response of a sample under different excitation conditions.
Standard and High-NA Optical Paths
The symmetric C-T optical path balances wavenumber range and routine measurement requirements. The high-NA optical path provides greater signal-collection efficiency and is better suited to weak signals or experiments requiring higher acquisition efficiency.
Confocal Microscale Measurement
The confocal pinhole suppresses out-of-focus signals. Combined with microscope objectives and XYZ scanning, it supports precise positioning of small regions, 2D mapping, and depth-resolved measurements.

Fiber Adapter

SFOA-091 Fiber Adapter Kit is designed specifically for HORIBA iHR, MicroHR, and FHR series spectrometers and is equipped with lenses with focal lengths of 60 mm and 40 mm. The kit includes a central mounting bracket that allows horizontal and vertical adjustment as well as rotation of the fiber position.

Once installed on the instrument slit, the adapter uses the lenses to match the fiber output to the instrument aperture, maximizing use of the fiber aperture while reducing stray light. The optical mounts at both ends accept optional 25 mm-diameter filters. The adapter is designed for fibers with a numerical aperture of 0.22 (f/2.3).
