The grating-based HighFinesse/ Ångstrom’ spectrometers offer the capability for a very accurate simultaneous measurement of both wavelength and linewidth of laser sources. With a resolving power up to 40000 and a measurement speed up to 500 MHz, the product series covers the range from 192 nm to 11000 nm, allowing measurements of both pulsed and cw lasers. The grating based technology enables the analysis of laser sources over a large linewidth range. Connected to the PC via USB, after a simple software installation the spectrometers are ready for use.

The HARPIA comprehensive spectroscopy system performs a variety of sophisticated time-resolved spectroscopic measurements in a compact footprint. It offers an intuitive user experience and easy day-to-day maintenance, meeting the needs of today’s scientific applications. Extension modules and customization options tailor the HARPIA system to specific measurement needs.

The system is built 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 (HARPIA-MM) modules. HARPIA is designed for easy switching between measurement modes and comes with dedicated data acquisition and analysis software. Each module is contained in a monolithic aluminum body ensuring excellent optical stability and minimal optical path lengths. For a single-supplier solution, the HARPIA spectroscopy system can be combined with a PHAROS or a CARBIDE laser together with ORPHEUS series OPAs. The HARPIA also supports Ti:sapphire lasers with TOPAS series OPAs.

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.

The S2050 2–5 µm fiber spectrometer has a unique combination of a super-fast full spectra acquisition rate of up to 130 kHz, an ultra-sensitive minimum detection power of 5 pW/nm and a resolution of 6 cm⁻¹.

We also offer the S76120 prototype spectrometer for measurement of 7.6–12.0 µm mid-infrared light.

Our spectrometers are based upon a new measuring paradigm where mid-infrared light is converted into visual light and then measured with conventional visual grating spectrometer technology.

LightMachinery's spectrometers are setting the new standard for range, resolution, cost and size. The HyperFine HF series 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 Hyperfine HN Series spectrometer is a smaller version with about 25-pm resolution anywhere in the UV, visible and NIR wavelength ranges. The Hyperfine HN is ideal for characterizing light sources such as laser spectra in real time.

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.

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.

GWU's portfolio of CCD-based spectrometers provides a great variety of features to fulfill nearly any requirement of versatile applications. The detection range covers the UV to near-infrared spectrum and even reaches out to the mid-infrared at 2.6 µm. Models with tiny footprint, e.g. for wavelength monitoring in OEM applications, as well as thermo-electric (TE) cooled devices with high resolution, high sensitivity and ultra-low noise for weak-light applications, such as fluorescence sensing or Raman analysis, are offered.

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.
