Where to Buy Spectrometers

LightMachinery's spectrometers are setting the new standard for range, resolution, cost and size. The HyperFine spectrometer is designed for LIBS or simultaneous Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy. With 1 pm resolution in a small package size it offers an affordable approach to advanced spectroscopic applications. The Hornet spectrometer is a smaller version with about 25-pm resolution anywhere in the UV, visible and NIR wavelength ranges. The Hornet is ideal for characterizing light sources such as laser spectra in real time.

IndiGo is a totally new generation of visible spectrometers. It is a compact modular spectrometer connected with Bluetooth to a smartphone. It allows the user to measure emission, absorption or transmission spectra from 370 nm to 900 nm with a resolution of 5 nm. The dedicated app available for Android 7.0 (soon also iOS) allows the user to make measurements anywhere, at anytime.

Several extension modules for the IndiGo are available: the Laser Excitation module, the Fluorescence module and the Optical fiber module.

The GoSpectro is a device that turns any smartphone or digital tablet equipped with a camera into an ultracompact and powerful light hand spectrometer. In addition, it’s sensitive over the entire visible range (400 nm – 750 nm) with a spectral resolution of 10 nm and reproducibility of 1 nm. This revolutionary device allows spectral measurements in emission, transmission and reflection. So it is the ideal companion for measuring light spectra in different settings.

The HARPIA comprehensive spectroscopy system performs a variety of sophisticated time-resolved spectroscopy measurements in a compact footprint. It also offers an intuitive user experience and easy day-to-day maintenance meeting the needs of today's scientific applications. Despite its small size, the HARPIA system is easily customizable and can be tailored to specific measurement needs. The system is configured around the HARPIA-TA transient absorption spectrometer and can be expanded using time-correlated single-photon counting and fluorescence upconversion (HARPIA-TF), third beam delivery (HARPIA-TB), and microscopy modules. Switching between different measurement modes is mostly automated and requires very little user interaction. Adhering to the standards set by the ORPHEUS product line, each module is contained in a single monolithic aluminum body ensuring excellent optical stability and minimal optical path lengths.

For a robust and versatile single-supplier solution the HARPIA spectroscopy system can be combined with a PHAROS or a CARBIDE laser together with ORPHEUS series OPAs. HARPIA also supports Ti:sapphire lasers with TOPAS series OPAs.

Measurement modes:

- femtosecond transient absorption and reflection

- femtosecond transient absorption and reflection microscopy

- femtosecond multi-pulse transient absorption and reflection

- femtosecond fluorescence upconversion

- picosecond-to-microsecond fluorescence using TCSPC

- intensity-dependent transient absorption and reflection, time-resolved fluorescence

- time-resolved femtosecond stimulated Raman scattering (FSRS)

- flash photolysis

The Mozza products are ideal for spectral characterization of IR pulsed laser sources with repetition rates from few Hz to multi-kHz. Without any moving part, Mozza unique design allows high speed scanning, synchronized with the laser. As a result, real time spectrum display is possible even with kHz-rate light sources.

Edmund Optics offers a wide variety of spectrometers, including spectrometers that have been optimized for Raman or fluorescence spectroscopy. Raman spectrometers are ideal for Raman applications in the visible to the near infrared. The fluorescence spectrometers are ideal for use in low light fluorescence applications where the ability to detect weak signals is crucial for proper measurement. Additionally, fluorescence spectrometers feature broadband spectral response ranges for detecting wide wavelength bands along with a wide slit width for increased throughput.

The waveScan spectrometer by APE is a compact and cost-efficient optical spectrometer for characterizing light sources, e.g. ultrafast as well as cw laser systems. The rotating grating technology achieves high resolution at fair scan rates. This makes waveScan an ideal real-time alignment tool for laser systems.
