Monochromator throughput is dependent upon various factors. One of these is
coupling efficiency. To maximize monochromator throughput, your illuminator must be focused precisely on the monochromator slit. One simple way to do this is to use fiber optics, but you loose some throughput and you are limited by the usable wavelength range of the fiber. The other method is to align the optical axes of the light source and the monochromator, and ensure that the input slit is at the image of the source. This can be extremely time consuming. We offer mounting kits that mount the most popular Oriel Light Sources and Monochromators and Spectrographs to a common baseplate. The optical axes heights are fixed, and the light source-monochromator distance is fixed. We offer kits for the following Oriel Illuminators:
• Apex Monochromator Illuminators
• 7340 Dual Source Illuminators
• 1000 W Research Illuminators
