  • Spectral range 350-2500nm
  • Photodiode Arrays:
    1024 element UV-Enhanced silicon detector (VIS-NIR)
    512 element TE-cooled InGaAs detector (SWIR 1)
    512 element TE-cooled extended InGaAs detector (SWIR 2)
  • Minimum scan speed: 100milliseconds
  • Noise Equivalence Radiance (with 1.5 meter fiber optic)
    0.5x10-9 W/cm2/nm/sr @ 400nm
    0.3x10-9 W/cm2/nm/sr @ 1500nm
    2.5x10-9 W/cm2/nm/sr @ 2100nm

Applications include:

  • Vegetation studies
  • Environmental research
  • Soil analysis, mapping and profiling
  • Ground truthing
  • Geological remote sensing
  • Mineral identification
  • Solar radiance and irradiance research
  • Species identification
  • Lab applications including materials identification

The RS-5400 is designed for field work with a rugged chassis, no moving optical parts, and rugged metal clad fiber optic cable that’s field replaceable. It features one touch operation with auto-dark current and auto-exposure. Communications include wireless Bluetooth and USB connection. It includes DARWin SP Data Acquisition software that is Windows 7/8/10 compatible and saves all files as ASCII.

The RS-5400 provides high resolution/high sensitivity in a portable spectroradiometer for field or laboratory use. The unit is lightweight and runs off a 100-240V AC Universal 50-60Hz power supply or lithium-ion batteries.
