Features

Interchangeable Diffraction Gratings

Each 30 x 30 mm diffraction grating comes pre-aligned in its own frame, allowing it precisely fit inside the instrument. The frame has a tab that allows the grating to be inserted or replaced inside the monochromator without touching its surface. Each grating comes with a protective cover and is labeled with the model number, making interchangeability and storage simple. The gratings listed on this page are for the 77250B and legacy 77250 monochromators only and need to be purchased separately.

77250B gratings cannot be used in any of our other monochromators.

Optical Design

The optical configuration of the 77250B results in high throughput and very low levels of stray light. The Ebert-Fastie design features two slits in line with each other, with an out of plane grating. The slit locations allow the complete optical system to be easily mounted to a bench or rail. The grating orientation eliminates re-entrant spectra.

Manual Wavelength Drive and Readout

The 77250B uses a smooth knob adjustment to position the grating. A four-digit counter displays the wavelength in nanometers when using a 1200 lines/mm grating. For gratings with different line densities, the wavelength shown on the display is multiplied by the appropriate scaling factor. The readout is set during calibration so that the wavelength indicated is correct to within 1 nm over the full range of a 1200 lines/mm grating. For greater accuracy, the readout can be reset within any restricted spectral region.

Fixed Slit Version Option

Fixed slits should be used for the utmost accuracy and repeatability, especially at high resolution. The slit width is one of the factors determining the resolution and throughput of the instrument, with a narrow slit providing higher resolution and lower throughput. Fixed slits are the best option when only a few slit sizes are required, as they are less expensive. The fixed slits slide into the pre-installed slit holders at the input and output ports. The width and height cannot be adjusted, but may be individually replaced with other slit sizes. Individual fixed slits are required to use the instrument and ordered separately to allow customized choices based on the needs of the application. Order two identical fixed slits for the 77250B monochromator.

Micrometer Adjustable Slit Option

Micrometer adjustable slits offer flexibility and high throughput. This type of slit is designed primarily for versatility and convenience in changing resolution and throughput. Micrometer adjustable slits do not provide the same level of accuracy and repeatability of fixed slits. A micrometer adjustable slit assembly is continuously variable from fully closed to 3 mm width. The narrowest practically achievable width is 4 µm. A height adjustment slide allows variation in the height from 2 to 12 mm. Two micrometer slit assemblies are pre-installed at the input and output ports.

Delivered Fully Assembled and Aligned

The 77250B is factory assembled and pre-aligned so it is ready for immediate use. Micrometer adjustable slits or fixed slit holders are installed at the input and output ports. Each diffraction grating is carefully aligned and bonded to its holder. Both the grating holder and the instrument are designed with precise mechanical tolerances, allowing gratings to be easily installed and exchanged at any time.

Monochromator Mounting

The optional mounting plate can be used to secure a 77250B monochromator to an imperial optical table. The ability to mount the monochromator simplifies setup and alignment of the optical system. The mounting plate also helps ensure consistent results over time, as the monochromator cannot be accidentally moved out of position. The plate adds 0.25 inch [6.35 mm] to the optical height. Threaded holes on the mounting surface of the monochromator also allow the instrument to be optical rod mounted, if desired.

Sensor Integration

Oriel's come with a standard 1.5-inch series flange, allowing instant light-tight connectivity to our monochromators. These sensors are operated in the photovoltaic (unbiased) mode to provide the lowest noise for DC and low frequency operation since it avoids the shot noise associated with bias currents. We offer amplified and unamplified versions with large active areas to make signal capture easy. Additional options include NIST traceable calibrated models and Thermoelectric (TE) cooled options.
