Unmatched Performance and Flexibility for Industrial and Portable Applications

The Siena NIR Spectrometer by Avenir Photonics sets a new standard in near-infrared spectroscopy by combining high performance, affordability, and versatility. Whether you’re an R&D specialist looking for precise laboratory measurements or an industrial engineer seeking eliable portable solutions, the Siena delivers exceptional results without the need for complex cooling systems.

Extended Wavelength Range (800-2100 nm)

The Siena offers a broader wavelength range than most competitors, with configurations reaching up to 2100 nm. This extended capability enables applications across a wide variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.

Uncooled
InGaAs Sensor

The Siena’s advanced InGaAs sensor includes built-in dark current compensation, allowing it to operate up to 2100 nm without any cooling. This means reduced size, lower power consumption, and no need for bulky cooling fans, making it ideal for portable use.

Exceptional Sensitivity and Minimal Stray Light

With a signal-to-noise ratio of 1000 and optimized stray light suppression (0.08%), the Siena delivers highly accurate measurements even at low light levels, making it a reliable choice for demanding analytical tasks.

Compact Design and Low Power Consumption

Measuring just 52 x 57 x 17 mm and weighing 80 g, the Siena is perfectly suited for mobile and industrial settings. It operates with a 5V USB power supply, consuming only 60 mA, which further enhances its suitability for field use.

Customizable Configurations

The Siena is available in three standard wavelength configurations:

  • Siena 1.7: 940-1700 nm (8-10 nm resolution)
  • Siena 1.9: 800-1900 nm (12-14 nm resolution)
  • Siena 2.1: 900-2100 nm (13-16 nm resolution)

Additionally, entrance slits can be user-replaced to achieve higher sensitivity or resolution based on specific application needs.

  • On-Board Processing: The Siena comes with a powerful microcontroller capable of performing on-board auto exposure, averaging, buffering, and spectrum processing, including dark and reference spectrum adjustments. This provides efficient, real-time data without the need for external processors.
  • Multiple Interface Options: The Siena supports USB 2.0, UART, and optional SPI/I²C interfaces, making integration with existing systems straightforward. It also offers analog I/O connections and programmable I/O pins for custom configurations.
  • Software and SDK: Included with the Siena is a comprehensive software suite compatible with Windows 7 and later, as well as an SDK with demo code, drivers, and protocol documentation. This enables seamless integration and custom application development to suit any unique requirement.
