The grating used in a spectrometer design plays a defining role in its performance. It impacts sensitivity, signal to noise, and spectral response, and thus should be carefully matched to the ...

For sorting laser harmonics and other applications, McPherson (Chelmsford, MA) is pleased to present a new conical-diffraction, off-plane X-ray Czerny-Turner (OP-XCT). Designed for operation from 8 to ...

An optical spectrometer is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the light spectrum, which has found a wide range of practical applications. Dispersive optical ...

In the early 1940s, the first commercial dispersive spectrometers emerged for UV-Vis applications. This technology is based on the dispersion of light in dependence of its wave-lengths. The dispersion ...

The combination of broadband light sources with the path length enhancement achievable with an optical cavity allows for spectrally resolved optical extinction. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are high ...

This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), please contact us at ...

Despite whether one is manufacturing inexpensive vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser diodes (VCSELS) for consumer electronics or utilizing a tunable mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser for multi-photon ...

As the demand for bandwidth and high-speed transport grows, so does the use of fiber-optic based transport. One of the enabling technologies associated with optical transport are Fiber Bragg gratings ...
