Hi, is it possible to get additional information about the sensor type and vendor? We would like to know if the camera is front-illuminated or back-illuminated, because of the "Optical Etaloning" problem in NIR spectral regions.

MKiess (posted 2020-07-03 05:45:55.0)

This is a response from Michael at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry.The sensor is a Sony ILX554B. You can find the Spec Sheet in the Line Camera documents on our website. I have also sent it to you via e-mail.

Christopher Van Arsdale (posted 2019-11-17 16:51:32.973)

Can this camera operate as a normal USB (UVC) camera without a custom driver (on, say, Linux or MacOS)?

dpossin (posted 2019-11-20 08:54:01.0)

Dear Chris, Thank you for your feedback. The line camera LC100 can be used with the software we provide on our homepage as well as with C,C++,CVI,C#,Visual Studio or LabView. Unfortunately Linux and MaxOS is currently not provided.

450 fps is too slow for my application. Is there a faster camera in the range of 10k fps?

wskopalik (posted 2019-02-19 07:17:04.0)

This is a response from Wolfgang at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry! Unfortunately, neither the line camera nor our other cameras can achieve such high frame rates. The reasons for this are mainly limitations in the exposure time and the data transfer from the camera to the computer. Please feel free to contact our technical support teams if you have any further questions about our cameras. We would be happy to assist you!

Would a MAC version of Software for Spectrometers and USB Line Cameras be available?

swick (posted 2018-04-20 04:07:33.0)

This is a response from Sebastian at Thorlabs. Thank you for the inquiry. For LC100 we do not offer software versions which are compatible to Mac OS.

tbaker1 (posted 2018-02-12 14:15:31.203)

Is there a recommended lens system that you suggest to go along with this camera? The preferred application would be machine vision at like a 1:1 mag so one of the objectives listed on the "Camera Lenses for Machine Vision" would work. Thanks for any recommendations.

swick (posted 2018-04-20 03:54:28.0)

This is a response from Sebastian at Thorlabs. Thank you for the inquiry. Most applications for cameras require individual lens systems due to requirements of the particular application e.g. FOV, min object distance. Our camera objectives do have a C-mount thread hence they are not directly compatible to the LC100. We offer an adapter for C-mount (SM2A54) but it does not guarantee the correct flange focal distance. I contacted you directly for further discussion.

HI, I wanted to know if this camera has an SDK of any kind so that i can ready the spectrum in my own software?

swick (posted 2016-10-21 03:28:04.0)

This is a response from Sebastian at Thorlabs. Thank you for the inquiry. In the manual of LC100(/M) at Chapter 5, "Write Your Own Application", you can find detailed information about the instrument drivers and programming environments (C#, C++, Labview). I have contacted you directly to provide assistance.

Today, LC100 delieried to me. I didn't check before order it. Could i get the image using LC100 and software? I think, your software just showing the intensity of singel. It doesn't have any image functions. I want to make the SLO(Scanning Laser Ophthamicscope). It is possiable? Let me know your comments. Best Regards.

besembeson (posted 2015-12-16 01:15:45.0)

Response from Bweh at Thorlabs USA: Thanks for contacting Thorlabs. You are correct this gives you an intensity profile of each line scan. You can then collect several line scans and perform image reconstruction via external software. Sequential recording of individual line scans is also possible with the camera software. I will contact you to further discuss your SLO application.

Hello, We are having three problems with camera LC100 and SPLICCO software: - when recording data in "SEQUENTIAL RECORDING" mode, the error message appears and data is lost - When data is recorded, the maximum value is 0.8 and not 1 as seen in the graph - Sometimes, intensity peaks very high suddenly, and comes back to normal value We use SPLICCO 4.3 software from the installation CD packed with the camera. Are the other versions (4.2 or 4.5) better options for stability? Thank you very much.

shallwig (posted 2015-06-15 09:11:29.0)

This is a response from Stefan at Thorlabs. Thank you for contacting us and please apologize the problems you face with the SPLICCO software and line camera here. I have contacted you directly to troubleshoot this in detail.

shallwig (posted 2015-03-27 09:48:22.0)

This is a response from Stefan at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. When downloading the drivers from our website with our software http://www.thorlabs.com/software_pages/ViewSoftwarePage.cfm?Code=SPLICCO there will automatically download an example in C. For a 32 bit system you can find it under the following path: C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA\WinNT\Thorlabs LC100\Examples and for 64 bit systems under C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA\Win64\Thorlabs LC100\Examples In this is example it is also described how to access the data. Regarding a C sample particularly for continuous hardware trigger acquisition I will contact you directly.

Need a faster detection, and a higher S/N ratio. Do you have such a line ccd? Im looking for a 10microsec response and at least a 20000:1 s/n. need it to measure obtical density in thin objetcs

shallwig (posted 2014-06-17 04:56:01.0)

This is a response from Stefan at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. At the moment unfortunately we only have the line camera LC100 with the specs shown on the website here: http://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=5290&pn=LC100#5291 The integration time is 1.055ms – 50S and the Scan Rate Internal Trigger allows maximal 900 scans/s at the minimal integration time. We specify the signal to noise ratio with ?2000 : 1 depending on the integration time. Perhaps in the future we can offer a line camera which meets your requirements better. I will contact you directly to discuss your application in detail.

user (posted 2013-08-20 13:25:51.137)

How can you use the division, transmittance, absorbance instead of the scope function? Is it possible to use one extra LC100 as realtime reference with the SPLICCO software?

tschalk (posted 2013-08-21 04:26:00.0)

This is a response from Thomas at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. It is possible to store the actual measurement plot as the reference plot. To achieve the button "Store as actual Reference" can be used. Detailed information about the Reference can be found in the manual (https://www.thorlabs.de/Thorcat/20300/LC100_M-Manual.pdf) in section 3.19 "References". If a Compact CCD Spectrometer (https://www.thorlabs.de/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=3482) is connected you have the possibility to use the functions Division, Absorbance, Transmittance and Difference. In the case that a line camera is used these functions are not available. With the current version it is not possible to use a second LC100 as a real time reference. It would be great if you could contact me directly at Europe@Thorlabs.com to discuss your application.

cbrideau (posted 2013-08-19 18:00:50.583)

I am interested in using the stand-alone capability of this camera for an application. Is it possible to tell the camera to snap a background spectra and apply it against further acquisitions using the GPIO, or is this something that can only be done via connection to a PC? I'd like to present a sample holder to the camera, push a button to establish the baseline, then add my sample into the holder and have GPIO pins go high with the detection of a certain peak, subtracting the baseline before the system decides whether the peak is there or not.

tschalk (posted 2013-09-23 11:37:00.0)

This is a response from Thomas at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. It is possible to set the GPIO Pin to high if a certain peak is detected. It is not possible to subtract the background spectra using the GPIO. Therefore the computer software can be used. I will contact you directly with more detailed information.

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: We do provide the trigger input cable. Both 5V and 3.3V can be used for TTL trigger signal. Also, the trigger input is not opto-isolated.

v.fadone (posted 2012-08-14 10:50:31.0)

Dear Sirs, I need to synchronize LC100 to an external source so I'll use Trigger Input on GPIO connector. As I can understand from the manual, Thorlabs provides a cable with a BNC connector. Is it correct? The trigger voltage range should be 0-3.3V (LL TTL) but on table 6.1 I read TTL 5V and 3.3V. Is it possible to use both 5V and 3.3V TTL trigger signal? Is the trigger input optoisolated? Thanks Vanni

jvigroux (posted 2012-07-16 06:57:00.0)

A response form Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your inquiry! The LC100 can be read out through Matlab. The driver is a VXIPnP driver and can thus be imported into Matlab using the instrument control toolbox.

It would be really useful to sell this as part of a kit with the CVH100 cuvette holder. A transmission grating, a couple lenses, and some cage and cube parts and you could integrate this thing as a spectrometer to the side of the CVH100. You could sell the kit with different gratings for different spectral ranges.
