DK242 1/4 Meter Double Monochromator
The Pioneer: Better Resolution, Stray Light Control
The DK242 is two cascaded monochromators, with the exit slit of the first monochromator functioning as the entrance slit of the second. This instrument may be factory configured to operate as either an additive or subtractive dispersion double monochromator. In both modes, the two monochromators act as a double filter with the rejection of stray light being nearly the square of the single monochromator value. In the additive dispersion mode, the DK242 is the equivalent of a half-meter monochromator, but permits greater reduction of stray light. The first grating spreads the spectrum over an angular range; the second grating then doubles this dispersion. The result is twice the resolution of a single 1/4-meter monochromator. In subtractive dispersion mode the first monochromator selects a bandpass. The second monochromator then removes the temporal and angular aberrations introduced by the angular spectral dispersion in the first monochromator.
The DK242 offers a unique solution to practical problems in the spectroscopy of pulsed sources. For example, an ordinary monochromator will introduce up to 250 pico second broadening in light pulses that are passed through the monochromator. Operated in the subtractive dispersion mode, the DK242 reduces this broadening to almost zero because the second monochromator equalizes the optical path length of the first.
The DK242 is also a unique solution to the practical problems of Raman spectroscopy because the high stray light rejection of the two monochromators allows observation close to the laser line. SP's unique CSR scanning technology also improves efficiency in the red and near IR while maintaining resolution. (In the CSR mode, the monochromator's change in dispersion with wavelength is compensated by a change in slit widths while bandpass remains constant. Intensity improvement up to 4x can occur).
Equipped with SP's Direct Digital Drive, the DK242 is a complete computer-controlled instrument. The control electronics are internal, calibration is automatic. Any computer can control the DK242 through its RS232 interface with simple commands (shown in all capital letters) to direct the monochromator to GO TO a wavelength, to SCAN between wavelengths at a preset SPEED, to SELECT gratings, or to report its STATUS.
