Omni-λ180Di, 300Di, 500Di Double Monochromators, Stray Light to 1×10⁻⁹
Omni-λ300Di / Omni-λ500Di / Omni-λ180DiDesign Tools
Double monochromators for very low stray light (subtractive mode) or higher resolution (additive mode).
These double monochromators/spectrographs combine two finely aligned monochromators in one housing. In subtractive dispersion mode they reduce stray light for weak-signal work such as Raman spectroscopy; in additive mode the dispersion is doubled for high-resolution measurements. The Omni-λ300Di and Omni-λ500Di support both modes, while the Omni-λ180Di is a dedicated subtractive double monochromator.
Key Features
- Omni-λ300Di and Omni-λ500Di operate in either additive or subtractive dispersion mode
- Stray light 1 × 10⁻⁹ in subtractive mode and 1 × 10⁻⁷ in additive mode
- Additive mode doubles the focal length to 640 mm (300Di) or 1000 mm (500Di) for 0.04 nm or 0.025 nm resolution
- Triple grating turret with 68 × 68 mm gratings spanning UV to NIR
- Motorized or manual slits from 0.01 to 3 mm, plus a 24 mm wide motorized middle slit
- All-in-one housing for easy transport and installation; USB 2.0 software control
- Omni-λ180Di: subtractive double monochromator with stray light below 10⁻⁹ for UV–VIS–NIR work
Typical Applications
- Low-wavenumber Raman spectroscopy (laser line rejection)
- Tunable monochromatic light sources with broadband lamps
- Detector spectral responsivity calibration, especially in the UV
- High-resolution spectral measurements
- Weak-signal detection requiring low stray light
