2010 Press Release: “FCI” Flash Capture Interface

StellarNet has just introduced a new accessory for measuring flashing light sources. The Flash
Capture Interface is a perfect tool for assisting a StellarNet spectrometer in the measurement of
flashtubes and pulsed sources where the output intensity is only for a short time duration. Designed
specifically for measurement with a pulsed solar simulator, the FCI instantaneously triggers
a StellarNet spectrometer for full spectral acquisition.

The FCI attaches to the TTL trigger input on any StellarNet spectrometer system. The FCI utilizes
a photodiode to collect the flash and then instantaneously sends a signal pulse to the spectrometer.
StellarNet Jack-in TTL trigger collects the pulse and a spectral scan is taken on the
pulses rising edge.

The FCI’s miniature size, 0.75 x 2.5 x 4.5”, and modular design easily couples with any measurement
setup for just about all flash capture applications.     Radiometer Pages- View FCI PDF
