Innovative new generation spectrograph
25 January 2006
Test & Measurement
Irish company, Andor Technology, is well known for its world-leading range of multichannel detectors used in spectroscopy and low-light level imaging applications. More recently, the company has diversified into innovative spectrographs, the two leading products being the Mechelle and the Shamrock series. This comes as no surprise as Andor has been supporting spectrograph users for years with detectors and are fully aware of what the spectroscopist needs.
The Shamrock 303i is a pre-aligned detector spectrometer option allowing seamless integration of software, electronics, optics and detector. If the customer has an existing detector the Shamrock may be ordered as a standalone spectrograph with the option to retrofit the existing detector.
The Shamrock 303i has a USB 2.0 interface, making it user friendly. This spectrograph also boasts an interchangeable triple grating turret which provides flexibility and convenience. A wide range of replicated and holographic gratings with different blaze wavelengths is available. With the correct grating choice the full spectral coverage is from 170 nm to 1,8 μm (1800 nm). The wavelength resolution with the optimum detector is 0,1 nm, the wavelength accuracy 0,2 nm, and wavelength reproducibility is ±0,05 nm.
An intuitive graphical software interface is provided and enables simple operation and control of the spectrograph. The software allows the user full control of the spectrograph functionality. A large number of accessories such as optical fibres and fibre adaptors, filter wheels and order sorting filters, etc, are available.
