These spectrometers are designed to provide maximum
light throughput in
HELIOS
and
EOS spectrometers.
They consist of an imaging spectrograph and a
high speed multichannel detector. The spectrograph
utilizes a high-efficiency, ion-etched, aberration
corrected holographic grating. The spectrograph
design is optimized for maximum light throughput.
After an optical fiber, light travels directly
to the grating. The grating simultaneously disperses
and refocuses light onto the sensor without the
use of any additional mirrors, lenses, etc. The
height of the projected spectral image remains
virtually the same as the diameter of the input
optical fiber. This way the light spectrum can
be focused on the sensor with minimal losses.
The multichannel detectors have 0.5 mm tall pixels
that are optimal for spectrometry.
