Where to Buy Spectrometers

The MISS (Mini Imaging Spatial Spectrometer) is an innovative imaging spectrometer for ultrashort pulse characterization. It provides optical spectra with spatial resolution in one direction of a laser beam, thus allowing for vertical and horizontal spatial chirp measurements. Both free-space and fiber input versions are available.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

Our EVEREST soft X-ray / XUV / VUV spectrograph features aberration-corrected flat-field imaging and is available with three gratings covering the spectral ranges 1–17 nm (1240–73 eV), 5–80 nm (248–15.5 eV) and 24–200 nm (51.7–6.2 eV). In order to maximize light collection, the spectrometer can be used without an entrance slit over a variety of source distances, with 3–17 nm, 10–80 nm and 24–200 nm spectral coverage. Its modular design is able to match different experimental geometries and configurations. It features an integrated slit holder, gate valve and filter insertion unit, as well as 3-axis motorized grating positioning.
