Which OSA would be applicable for chemical species identificaiton/detection?
OSA model AQ6375B (1200-2400nm range) or AQ6376 (1500-3400nm range). These models have long wavelength applications that extend into the exNIR and MWIR regions. This allows either of these models to be used in Laser Absorption Spectroscopy or used to measure gas absorption spectra. An ideal choice for chemical identification applications.
