VariSpec

Leading the Industry with a New Compact Enclosure

New for 2010: a smaller form-factor with the same large apertures and easy, reliable, high-performance operation. All VariSpec filters (except for the XNIR-09-20 model) now simply consist of the optics module with a mini-USB cable connector for power and control: no need for the separate controller box!

CRi has manufactured and shipped thousands of Liquid Crystal Tunable Filters (LCTFs) over the past decade as the leader in tunable imaging filter technology. The award-winning VariSpec™ filter performs like a high-quality interference filter, but the wavelengths of the light it transmits are electronically controllable, providing rapid, vibrationless selection of any wavelength in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) tuning ranges.

Features & Benefits
  • Solid-state construction, no moving parts
  • Very compact form factor with large working apertures
  • Continuous tunability over hundreds of nanometers
  • Fast, random access wavelength selection
  • High-speed plug-and-play USB interface with Windows® DLL support, LabVIEW™ and Matlab® drivers

VariSpec filters are used for general research and as OEM components in specialized instruments.
