A SWIFTS spectrometer is like a simplified Michelson interferometer in which the scanning mirror and the detector are replaced by the nanodetectors. A grating spectrometer is an interferometric system ...

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 ...

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 ...

Spectrometer optics involves measuring light intensity by means of a specialized analytical tool called a spectrometer which separates light by wavelength. Spectrometers are used for a variety of ...

The AvaSpec range of line of instruments offers several configuration options to improve the spectroscopic and optical performance of the instrument for specific applications. This article provides ...

Hamamatsu Photonics's C10988MA-01 is a unique, ultra-compact spectrometer built using MOEMS (Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. Measuring only 27.6 x 13 x 16.8 mm, the spectrometer was ...
