Design Simulation and Data Analysis of an Optical Spectrometer

Spectrometers have a wide range of applications ranging from optical to non-optical spectroscopy. The need for compact, portable, and user-friendly spectrometers has been focus attention small laboratories the industrial scale. Here, Czerny Turner configuration-based spectrometer simulation design was carried out using ZEMAX OpticStudio. A compact low-cost in visible developed by diffraction grating as dispersive element USB-type webcam CCD (charge-coupled device) detector instead an expensive commercial detector. Using National Instruments LabVIEW, data acquisition, processing, display techniques were made possible. We employed different virtual images LabVIEW programs collect pixel-to-pixel information wavelength-intensity image captured CCD. Finally, we demonstrated that OpticStudio-based experimental measurements with good agreement.
