For measurements in the near-infrared range up to 1.7 µm, Avantes offers a new series of cooled spectrometer configurations. The AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-HSC-EVO and the AvaSpec-NIR512-1.7-HSC-EVO offer the high-sensitivity 100mm optical bench (HSC) with the next generation of electronics (EVO).
Both instruments deliver exceptional performance specifications such as a high sample speed and integration times as fast as 20 μs, as the Avantes instruments you have come to trust. For applications where resolution is key, or more datapoints for modelling is required, the 512 pixel detector will be the best choice.
The AvaSpec-NIR256/512-1.7-HSC-EVO spectrometers pair the same trusted InGaAs array detectors with our ultra-low-noise electronics board, featuring a USB3 and Giga-Ethernet connection port. The instruments are equipped with a Replaceable Slit. Digital and analogue I/O ports enable external triggering and control over the shutter and pulsed light sources. Choose from two distinct software-controlled gain-setting modes: high-sensitivity mode (HS, default) and low-noise mode (LN).
Cooling ensures optimum noise conditions, even at longer integration times. All NIR-1.7 instruments are available with a choice of four different gratings, making it possible to choose the bandwidth fitting your application.

Force majeure notice
The strong winds and heavy rains that hurricane Ida brought to New Jersey (USA) on September 1, 2021, have caused significant flooding to our supplier’s facility. This flash flood affected their facility’s infrastructure, and they have been, and will continue to be without HVAC, fire suppression, and electricity for an unknown duration. Their facility is shut down until they can restore conditions to a safe level for employees to return to work.
The result of this is that new orders for spectrometers using these detectors cannot be delivered. As they work to mitigate and remediate this damage, more information and estimated timelines will be communicated.
Spectrometers affected by these are:
– AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-HSC-EVO
– AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-HSC-xxx (OEM)
– AvaSpec-NIR512-1.7-HSC-EVO
– AvaSpec-NIR512-1.7-HSC-xxx (OEM)
*Other NIR models are not affected by this. So uncooled NIR 1.7 and cooled NIR 2.5 are still available.
We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
