HORIBA Scientific produces a wide range of holographic master gratings from which high precision replicas are manufactured. Using Type IV aberration-corrected monochromator gratings, a single concave grating disperses, collimates, and refocuses the light from the entrance slit onto the exit slit. Wavelength scanning is obtained through a simple rotation of the grating. The groove spacing of these gratings is computer-optimized to produce high quality images with a minimum of astigmatism and coma, even at large numerical apertures. Compared with Czerny-Turner monochromators (equipped with one plane grating, one collimating mirror and one focusing mirror), Type IV aberration-corrected monochromator gratings provide much better light collection efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio.
ㆍ Replica gratings from aberration corrected master gratings ㆍ Holographic Master can be blazed by Ion-beam etching method for higher efficiency ㆍ Ideal for robust, compact and low stray light monochromators ㆍ Several references available some (not all are listed in the catalogue) ㆍ Large range of dispersion available ㆍ Multiple spectral range from UV to IR ㆍ Coating: Al or gold.
