Monochromators are used to separate a broadband light source into a narrow wavelength band of interest. We offer Optometrics’ range of high performance, low cost monochromators for UV-VIS-NIR, ideal for use in spectroscopy due to their narrow wavelength bands and ability to target specific lines. Throughput, resolution, stray light and power handling are comparable to many larger, more expensive monochromators. This series is designed to minimise astigmatic aberrations, for high instrument resolution.
Manual and automated monochromators are available with optional digital wavelength readout. We also provide scanning monochromators in ranges from UV to NIR for applications where a wide variety of wavelengths are required to test a sample.
The advantages of using a diffraction grating over a prism in a monochromator are a high wavelength dependency on dispersion and a low temperature dependency. Our monochromators can be used with a comparator and reticule to form a hand held spectrometer.
