Online monitoring of laser linewidth and central wavelength
The 1525-1575 nm band can accurately match the performance monitoring needs of lasers within this band. With a high resolution of 0.3 nm, it can precisely capture subtle shifts in the laser center wavelength and achieve accurate measurement of laser linewidth. The ultra-high-speed acquisition capability of 3000 frames/s can track dynamic changes in laser output in real-time, promptly detecting wavelength drifts and linewidth broadening anomalies. This application is widely suitable for production testing and online operation and maintenance scenarios of industrial-grade lasers and fiber lasers.


 
Chemical group detection
The core of the near-infrared spectrometer in the 1525-1575 nm band corresponds to the second overtone absorption of C-H groups and N-H groups (amino groups). With advantages of rapid, non-destructive, and high signal-to-noise ratio, it achieves precise applications in multiple fields.

In agriculture and food sectors, it can quickly quantify the fat, carbohydrates, and protein content in grains, oils, fruits, and vegetables, used for quality grading and origin traceability;

In petrochemical industries, it can distinguish the ratios of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons in gasoline and diesel, monitor hydrocarbon composition and nitrogen compounds in crude oil, supporting online blending and quality control;

In biomedicine, it can non-destructively detect active ingredients and protein content in drug tablets and can be used for non-invasive analysis of proteins and other components in human tissues;

In polymer materials, it can characterize methyl/methylene content, crystallinity, and amine additives in polymers, aiding material research and development and production quality control.

This band has been used for rapid determination of protein/amino acid content (N–H), authentication of polyamide and nylon (N–H), monitoring of C–H microenvironments in materials containing aromatic rings or olefins, and simultaneous analysis of moisture and organic components in drugs, typical fields including food, feed, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and polymer process control.
