SR-4500 and SR-4500A Compact Spectroradiometers (350-2500nm)

New Standards for Measurement Stability for Radiometric Calibration

The SR-4500 and SR-4500A are portable, compact, UV/VIS/NIR spectroradiometers with three thermoelectrically cooled photodiode arrays for the ultimate in high performance and measurement stability through a wide range of ambient temperatures and environments.

The SR-4500 and SR-4500A are  designed to meet the needs of integrating sphere owners doing radiometric calibration transfer for integrating spheres used for satellite systems, or for any users who have system lamps with high operating hours, light sources more than two years old, a mandate for scheduled calibration, or systems that are just too large to send out for calibration. With the SR-4500 and SR-4500A, calibration can be accomplished on-site.

SR-series:

The SR-4500 features:

• Spectral range of 350-2500nm
• 512 element TE-cooled silicon photodiode array (350-1000nm)
• 256 element TE-cooled extended InGaAs photodiode array (1000-1900nm)
• 256 element TE-cooled extended InGaAs photodiode array (1900-2500nm)
• Diffraction-based optics for greater reliability (no moving parts)
• Auto dark current shutter and autoexposure control for one-touch operation
• NER that is twice as good as a full range spectroradiometer
• Metal clad fiber optic cable with SMA-905 input – fiber is user-replaceable (wrench included)
• Lightweight and compact with a small benchtop footprint (11 lbs/12 x 4 inches)

The SR-4500A has the same features plus enhanced drift stability of 0.1%. This offers the ability to more accurately calibrate integrating spheres and light sources  that calibrate precision sensors in satellites, hyperspectral systems and UAVs. Better sensor calibration results in better quality and interpretability of remote sensing data.
