900 – 1700 nm NIR Spectral Range

Covers the lower short-wave NIR regi­on, tar­ge­ting first over­to­nes of O–H, C–H, and N–H bonds. Well-sui­ted for detec­ting mois­tu­re and basic orga­nic com­po­si­ti­on with good signal sta­bi­li­ty and pene­tra­ti­on depth. Com­pared to lon­ger ran­ges, it pro­vi­des simp­ler, more robust mea­su­re­ments with lower spec­tral complexity.

Typi­cal applications

• Mois­tu­re measurement
• Agri­cul­tu­ral products
• Basic poly­mer identification
• Food ana­ly­sis

When to choo­se this range

• When focu­sing on water and simp­le organics
• For por­ta­ble, cost-effi­ci­ent devices
• When high spec­tral reso­lu­ti­on is not required
• For fast, rou­ti­ne measurements
