spectraval 1501

VIS Spectroradiometer

Please note that all models of spectraval 1501 are no longer available since January 2025. The new  specbos 2501  models cover all spectraval 1501 applications.  
JETI spectraval 1501 is a precise and economic reference grade VIS spectroradiometer for various applications including monitor and projector calibration and the measurement of different display types. It measures spectral Radiance in the visible range and provides a variety of integral data.

Various add-on optics are available to change the imaging conditions during Radiance measurement (available for spectraval 1501-focus).

Special versions of the device are spectraval 1501-HiRes (with an increased optical resolution), spectraval 1501-NIR (with a wavelength range up to 1000 nm) and spectraval 1501-LAN (with LAN interface instead of Bluetooth).

Add-on optics for different measuring geometries
JETI offers a variety of add-on optics to achive certain different measuring geometries.

Standard diffusor
The pure spectraval 1501 measures in spectral Radiance mode. It is possible to convert it into a spectral Irradiance meter by attaching a diffusor.

90° diffusor
The standard diffusor of the device acts in line to the device. If the Illuminance at a low height above a surface needs to be measured, then the 90° diffusor can be applied. It is also available with attenuation filters to extend the Illuminance measuring range.

In axis remote diffusor
If the measurement needs to be done in locations with limited space conditions then the remote diffusor can be used. It is a diffusor which is coupled to the spectraval device by an optical fiber bundle. The measurement is done in axis to the fiber bundle. Different fiber lengths are available.

90° remote diffusor
If the measurement needs to be done under limited space conditions and the in axis fiber coupled diffusor is not suited, then the 90° fiber coupled diffusor can be applied. Different fiber lengths are available.

Fast diffusors
If low Illuminance levels must be measured, then the measuring time will be long when using the standard diffusor of the device. It is possible to use “fast” diffusors, but only if the cosine matching of the diffusor is not of primary importance, e.g. in case of point like sources.

Dome
The dome is equipped with a glass dom and it is IP67 tested. It can be mounted on roofs or outside walls and allows a detection of the optical sky radiation.

Dolby/realD filter cap pairs
The calibration of 3D projectors needs to be done through the right and left eye glasses. spectraval 1501 can be equipped with caps containing the filters of Dolby and realD projection. The usage of these filter pairs allows a precise measurement of 3D projections.

Neutral density filter
spectraval 1501 can measure up to 100 000 cd/m² (typical white LED spectrum). An additional neutral density filter allows to shift the measuring range towards higher Luminance levels.

On request.
