A fiber optic cable coupler comprises a housing adapted to receive a first fiber optic cable and a cable connector having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end of the cable connector is adapted to engage the housing and the proximal end of the cable connector is adapted to receive a second fiber optic cable. The first and second fiber optic cables each have an exposed end. The cable connector retains the second fiber optic cable so that the second fiber optic cable exposed end is opposed to and in longitudinal alignment with the first fiber optic cable exposed end. The cable connector is also adapted to maintain a user selectable distance between the first fiber optic cable exposed end and the second fiber optic cable exposed end.

A system and method for determining bias in a spectrometer is described. One embodiment includes a method for determining bias in a spectrometer system, the method comprising over-scanning a grating in a near-zero-response wavelength range; and determining a bias based on the over-scanning. This methodology allows for over-scanning a grating in a near-zero-response wavelength range as a substitute for using shutters or other mechanisms to block light from entering a detector in the system.
