  • Page 3 5 mm and is mainly used in case of broadband light source with small beam size such as supercontinuum lasers. For large beam sizes such as LEDs and lamps the Poly-A10 model with an aperture size of 10 mm is recommended.
  • Page 4 1.1 Poly-RED Each Poly-RED model can cover a different spectral range. The bandwidth of Poly-RED can be adjusted from 2 to 15 nm (nominal). The exact adjustable bandwidth is different for each model. Please refer to the table below for more details on the tuning range.
  • Page 5 1.2 Poly-BLUE Each Poly-BLUE model can also cover a different spectral range with bandwidth fixed at 20 nm (nominal). Please refer to the table below for more details on the tuning range. For the Custom model, you can configure the product by selecting the type of filter you want according to the user's purpose from the wavelength selection table below.

    4. Plug the USB cable (A-B) into Poly, then connect the other end to the operating Computer/Tablet. 5. Plug the power supply cable into the power port of Poly, located just beside the USB port. Connect the power supply to a properly grounded outlet.
  • Page 10 *For optimal performance of the product, it is recommended that the incident light be collimated. It is possible to couple Poly with different types of broadband sources, such as supercontinuum lasers, laser driven light sources, and fiber output broadband lamp sources. We provide connecting adapters for each type.

  • Page 13 4. Operation (Raman mode, optional) 4.1 Raman mode (Optional function) Customers who purchase the Raman model of Poly-RED can use Raman mode to detect specific Raman band for imaging. The Raman model can select two modes (Stokes, Anti-stokes) in the options tab.
  • Page 14 - FWS operates on Wavelength Base, and in order to use it in Raman mode, it operates by converting wavelength to wavenumber. Because the wavenumber is inversely proportional to its wavelength, the specified wavenumber value may not be the exact wavelength at which the Poly can move. Therefore, the Poly sets the wavelength value closest to the user-specified wavenumber.
  • Page 15 3. Stop : click to stop scanning *Note : Although the Poly has calibration data at intervals of 0.2 nm as the wavelength base, there may be instances where a specific wavenumber does not have a corresponding value because the wavenumber is inversely proportional to its wavelength.
