HyperFine Spectrometers

Product information "HyperFine Spectrometers"

UV-NIR; 250-1100 nm; Resolution 0.5-<30 pm; Simultaneous Range 6-350 nm; Interface USB; 610x254x129 mm

LightMachinery’s compact HyperFine spectrometer series with sub-picometer resolution are based on LightMachinery's patented fluid jet polishing technology. Designed for measuring hyperfine spectra and subtle spectral shifts, the HyperFine series are compact spectrometers capable of 1 pm resolution.

Light enters the HyperFine spectrometer though a fiber. A VIPA etalon, manufactured using LightMachinery's proprietary fluid jet polishing technology, is used to produce very high dispersion in the vertical axis with sub-picometer resolution. This is followed by a conventional grating to disperse overlapping orders in the horizontal direction and produce a 2D spectrum of the input light.

LightMachinery software unwraps the spectrum to produce an ultra-high resolution wavelength spectrum of the input light. A secondary camera provides a wide wavelength range, lower resolution view of the spectrum.

HyperFine spectrometers are ideal for measuring fine features in plasmas, pulsed laser characterization and for measuring the small spectral shifts from Brillouin or Raman scattering. Simple PC-based software allows the user to review spectra in real time and save or export measured data for further analysis. LabView drivers enable the HyperFine spectrometers to be integrated into automated experimental setups.

Manufacturer "LightMachinery"
LightMachinery is dedicated to producing the world's finest lasers, optical components and optical equipment like high-precision spectrometers. The experts at LightMachinery are veterans of the laser and optics world with many years of experience in the areas of optical design, high-power lasers, optical fabrication, laser systems, metrology, thin film coatings and custom machinery fabrication. LightMachinery is extremely experienced with specifying, designing and manufacturing custom optics components, equipment and lasers. Custom etalons, VIPAs, beamsplitters, laser optics & lenses and Michelson interferometers are available as well as custom thin film coatings, uniform thickness thin wafers (Fused Silica, Pyrex, Silicon), windows or ultra-flat substrates. Most of LightMachinery’s etalons, interferometers, custom optics and wafers are finished using the company’s patented, computer-controlled fluid jet polishing (FJP) technology. FJP sets a new standard for optical manufacturing, allowing the adjustment of the shape and flatness of optical components to within a few nanometers as well as the production of large and very thin components with less than 10 nm of thickness variation. VIPAs (Virtually Imaged Phase Array, a special type of Fabry-Perot etalon with three distinct coatings) manufactured with FJP are at the core of many of LightMachinery’s advanced spectrometer series. LightMachinery has produced components and equipment for customers throughout the world involved in space science, telecommunications, semiconductor, high-power lasers, academic research, nondestructive testing, biophotonics, electronics, pharmaceutical manufacturing and materials processing.
