Picometer Spectral Resolution

McPherson's well equipped spectrometer with 2 meter focal length and Double Pass / Double Dispersion features provides nominal 5 picometer resolution and better. The instrument features multiple entrance and exit ports, high precision wavelength drives, echelle, and oversize grating mounting capabilities. The oversize grating has almost 40% more area, thereby achieving a faster f/number and more throughput. In these models, the grating can also rotate through an auxiliary 20° resulting in extension of the wavelength range. For the 1200 g/mm grating, the high wavelength changes from 1300 nm to 1575 nm or an increase of more than 20%.

Optional features include grating turrets and imaging optics. Larger focusing optics fully illuminate a 50 mm wide focal plane. McPheron's snap-in gratings allow alignment-free use of many different gratings. Easily view a wider spectral range or obtain higher resolution. Our dual grating turret also accepts these gratings. McPherson's executable LavView™ software provides a simple user interface for instrument control. All spectrometer functions supported by device controllers, etc., can be automated. A selection of choice signal recovery devices can also be controlled.

McPherson supplies a full line of accessories including sources and detectors for use with air path and vacuum instruments. Equip these instruments with multi-fiber imaging systems, sample compartments, filter wheels, choppers, sources, detectors, etc.
