USE OF THE LINEAR LIGHT SENSOR ILX554 IN OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY

USE OF THE LINEAR LIGHT SENSOR ILX554 IN OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY. This technical note describes the construction of a low-cost optical detector. This device is composed by a high-sensitive linear light sensor (model ILX554) and a microcontroller. The performance or the detector was demonstrated by the detection of emission and Raman spectra of the several atomic systems and the results reproduce those found in the literature.
