Order sorting filters are installed on detectors and are listed in the detector selection pane below. They are only available at set wavelength ranges, as the filters have to be fabricated to align all the proper blocking bands to specific ranges on the detectors. These must be specified at the time of ordering.

Our proprietary filters precisely block second- and third-order light from reaching specific detector elements. Light reflected off the grating can propagate 2nd and 3rd order effects at whole multiples of the incident light wavelength. So, for example, 250nm light hits the first order position at 250nm, and the second order position at 500nm. While 2nd order is generally weaker than first order signals, they are troublesome when looking at broad band spectra. Order sorting filters reject this stray light only allowing the desired 1st order wavelength through to the detector.

Types ofspectrometers

Light from a fiber enters the optical bench through the SMA 905 Connector. The SMA 905 bulkhead provides a precise location for the end of the optical fiber, slit, absorbing filter and fiber clad mode aperture. While we supply SMA connectors as standard, FC connectors are also available. We also offer a screw on lens to convert the optical fiber port into a free-beam port on this Flame spectrometer.

What is spectrometer used for

Light waves are small, so they pass through a large opening easily and freely with little disturbance. When the wavelength of light is about the same size as the opening that the light waves are trying to pass through, diffraction occurs. This is why it only happens at smaller apertures.

Whether you’re an expert or novice photographer, understanding how diffraction works is crucial to shooting the best images possible. You can’t always avoid it, but knowing more can help you mitigate its impact on your photos when it counts.

A great example of the modular spectrometer can be seen in the Ocean Optics Flame Spectrometer which employs the classic model of modular design and build to order options that let you optimize the system to best meet your needs. Better manufacturing techniques, faster, quieter electronics and even greater modularity are incorporated.

Ocean Optics also offers a range of FC connector slits in the same slit widths, with the product code INTFC-XXX. An INTFC-KIT is also available. Note that these items are made to order and have a longer lead time.

This is when light passes through a single slit roughly the same size as the wavelength of light. Like diffraction that happens with a small camera aperture, this causes waves of light to disperse and spread.

Spectrometer vs spectrophotometer

Lens diffraction is sometimes unavoidable, but you can minimize it by shooting with the sharpest aperture possible. This is dependent on the type of shot you’re going for.

Picture this: you’re shooting outdoors during the day, and as the sun grows brighter, you stop down your aperture to compensate for the bright light. When you check your shots later, you notice that your images became softer or blurrier as you went to that smaller aperture.

Lens diffraction occurs when light waves interfere with one another. This occurs more often when using a smaller aperture because the light waves and the lens opening are closer to the same size.

Spectrometer diagram

The dispersion of the grating across the linear array; also expressed as the “size” of the spectra on the array. The spectral range (bandwidth) is a function of the groove density and does not change. When you choose a starting wavelength for a spectrometer, you add its spectral range to the starting wavelength to determine the wavelength range. For several gratings, the Spectral Range of a grating varies according to the starting wavelength range. The rule of thumb is: the higher the starting wavelength, the more truncated the spectral range.

Light passes through the installed slit, which acts as the entrance aperture. Slits come in various widths from 5 µm to 200 µm. The slit is fixed in the SMA 905 bulkhead to sit against the end of a fiber. Smaller slit sizes achieve the best optical resolution while larger slits have higher light throughput. The slit size of our Flame spectrometer is labeled as shown.

The legacy of this approach goes back to the original S1000 spectrometer invented in 1992. With the options now available, the number of primary model variations is 4,680. If we include the option of starting wavelength, the number of variations grows even bigger. We set out to build Flame spectrometers that could meet ANY need, and we come very close to meeting that goal.

Spectrometer Price

There are two choices of detector available for the Flame spectrometer. We offer a 2048-element FLAME-S (Sony ILX511B) or a 3648 element FLAME-T (Toshiba TCD1304AP) linear CCD array. These both have an effective range of 190-1100 nm. The optics split the light into its component wavelengths which fall across the different pixels. Each pixel responds to the wavelength of light that strikes it. The detector outputs an analog signal from each pixel that is converted via the ADC into a digital signal. The driver electronics process this signal and send the spectrum via the USB connection to the software. The best choice of detector will depend on the application.

If you’re shooting a landscape and want a large depth of field, you’ll need to use a smaller aperture. If you’re experiencing a lot of diffraction, try opening the aperture one stop up and see if that helps. You may still have minimal lens diffraction, but that’s okay. If you want to, you can always sharpen your images a bit more in post-production.

This mirror focuses first-order spectra on the detector plane. Both the collimating and focusing mirrors are made in-house to guarantee the highest reflectance and the lowest stray light possible. You can opt to install a standard Al or special coated Ag (SAG+) mirror. As with the collimating mirror, the mirror type needs to be specified when ordering.

In photography, refraction can be used to take images where you see a reflection in a clear object such as a crystal ball or water droplet. An example of this is seen in the photo below.

Compact, versatile spectrometers covering UV, Visible and NIR wavelengths are available for lab, field and process solutions.

SAG+ mirrors are often specified for fluorescence. These mirrors absorb nearly all UV light, which reduces the effects of excitation scattering in fluorescence measurements. Unlike typical silver-coated mirrors, the SAG+ mirrors won’t oxidize. They have excellent reflectivity — more than 95% across the VIS-NIR.

Optical spectrometer

Gratings for Ocean Optics spectrometers are permanently fixed in place at the time of manufacture to ensure long-term performance and stability. Choose from among multiple gratings for your custom configured Flame spectrometer. When selecting your grating, consider groove density (resolution), spectral range (wavelength range) and blaze wavelength (determines the most efficient range). We offer ruled and holographic diffraction gratings. Holographic gratings produce less stray light while ruled gratings are more reflective, resulting in higher sensitivity.

Refraction is when light waves change direction as they pass from one medium to another, and diffraction is when they change direction and disperse when they pass through an opening or around a barrier.

The light waves are all trying to get through a small opening, which causes them to disperse or diffract, making the details of your photo blurry.

Understanding lens diffraction and what causes it can help you avoid blurry spots in your photos. Here’s everything you need to know.

The Groove Density (mm-1) of a grating determines its dispersion, while the angle of the groove determines the most efficient region of the spectrum. The greater the groove density, the better the optical resolution possible, but the more truncated the spectral range.

MTF curves are plotted with the sharpness (Modulation) vertically, in percent, from 0 to 100%. The Transfer Function we're measuring is plotted horizontally.

All ruled or holographically etched gratings optimize first-order spectra at certain wavelength regions; the “best” or “most efficient” region is the range where efficiency is >30%. In some cases, gratings have a greater spectral range than is efficiently diffracted. For example, Grating 1 has about a 650 nm spectral range, but is most efficient from 200-575 nm. In this case, wavelengths >575 nm will have lower intensity due to the grating’s reduced efficiency.

For ruled gratings, the Blaze Wavelength is the peak wavelength in an efficiency curve. For holographic gratings, it is the most efficient wavelength region.

Lens diffraction affects images by causing blur in the form of airy disks. These are produced when dispersed light waves hit the camera’s sensor. An airy disk is a circular pattern with a bright central disk and concentric rings that become less intense as they get farther away from the center. As the lens aperture gets smaller, the airy disk gets larger and vice versa.
