The ESIS-II mission aims to capture high-speed “snapshot” images of the Sun’s transition region and corona. To achieve this, ...

Holographic concave grating design elevates Ocean Optics’ newest miniature spectrometer. Ocean Optics (www.OceanOptics.eu) has launched a family of aberration-corrected holographic concave diffraction ...

Lighting and display manufacturers must ensure their products are consistent in their light output, making them reliant on effective quality control methods. Their products must be validated, and ...

Spectroscopy seems simple: split a beam of light into its constituent wavelengths with a prism or diffraction grating, and measure the intensity of each wavelength. The devil is in the details, though ...

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 ...

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 ...

The basic function of any spectrometer is to take in light, break it into its spectral components, digitize the signal as a function of wavelength, and read it out and display it via a computer. In ...

Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a UV model of its ‘micro’ spectrometer series. C16767MA is sensitive across 190 to 440nm with a typical resolution of 5.5nm (FWHM, so ±2.25nm to 50%). Update: scroll ...
