193 mm focal length, motorized Czerny-Turner Spectrograph Step-by-Step System Configuration How to customize the Kymera 193i: Resolution & band-pass Side Output 2nd output port configuration Direct Output Chassis configuration Input light coupling interfaces Side input Chassis configuration a) Select combination of input and output ports (see page 5 for available options). b) Select type of optics coating required (aluminium + MgF2 is standard, protected silver coated optics available on request for NIR detection). c) Select purge port option (for improved detection down to 180 nm), and...

193 mm focal length, motorized Czerny-Turner Spectrograph ANDOR an Oxford Instruments company Step 1 - Chassis Configuration Ordering InformationOptics Coatings Reflectivity Graph Standard systems use Al + MgF2 optics. Protected silver optics are also available on request for maximum efficiency in the NIR region -recommended for working with Andor iDus InGaAs detectors or IR single-point detectors, such as MCT, PbS and InSb. When choosing protected silver coatings, it is strongly recommended to also order protected silver coated gratings for maximum efficiency throughout the system....

193 mm focal length, motorized Czerny-Turner Spectrograph ANDOR an Oxford Instruments company Step 2a - Choosing The Right Platform vs Dispersion Requirements Green Aberration-free region Orange Possible impact on system resolution Red Likely impact on system resolution Czerny-Turner spectrographs are designed to provide the best optical performance for a range of grating angles as reflected on the green parts of the graph above. Outside this range, the spectral lines may exhibit a degree of optical aberration (such as coma), which will become more prominent at the steeper angles. These...

193 mm focal length, motorized Czerny-Turner Spectrograph ANDOR an Oxford Instruments company Step 2b - Choosing The Right Grating vs Resolution and Band-pass The Kymera 193i features a dual grating turret, designed to offer flexibility and control over your choice and interchange of gratings. The dual grating turret can be easily and speedily removed, and replaced by an alternative turret with new gratings. The intelligent design of the 193i means that only a simple offset adjustment is required once the new turret and gratings are added. The 193i is shipped with the grating turret already...
