Buying Monochromators
Monochromators are optical devices that function as tunable bandpass filters, allowing transmission of light within a narrow wavelength range, adjustable in center wavelength and bandwidth. They are integral components of spectrometers, spectrophotometers, and spectrographs, often based on the Czerny—Turner design or a variant thereof.

 No. 68B, LDUV Tongzhou District Beijing 101102 China |  The Omni-λ Series of imaging spectrographs and monochromators from Zolix Instruments are professional devices for researchers who demand the highest quality data. Zolix spectrographs and monochromators feature a very flexible design that can be configured for a wide range of applications, with a spectral range from UV to NIR. |
 Plauener Straße 163–165 / Haus N 13053 Berlin Germany See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 3359)! |  The principle task of the spectrum slicer (or laser monochromator) pulseSlicer is to cut out a very narrow spectral part of an ultrashort laser pulse. Essentially, it acts as a tunable bandpass filter. For example, it can be used as a simple solution for narrowing broadband laser pulses. Features of our pulseSlicer:
