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, ensuring minimal losses at the sensor. The multichannel detectors have 0.5 mm tall pixels that are optimal for spectrometry.
