Automation of a plane grating spectrograph
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Zeiss model PGS-2 plane grating spectrograph was automated by replacing its photograph film detection system with an EGG-Reticon 1024S photodiode array (PDA) and by controlling the main instrument functions through the use of a home-made interface connected to a microcomputer. The array was cooled by four Peltier elements to allow integration of the emitted light for up to 40 s. The interface performs data acquisition Jiom the sensor array, controls the grating position and the excitation source. A QuickBasic 4.5 program manages the interface, for data storage and treatment, and allows a graphical display and user-J'iendly interaction. Results show an absolute standard deviation for the wavelength localization of +_ 0"036 nm, and a spectral resolution of O'05 nm at 443 nm when a 651 grooves/mm grating is employed.

Modular X-ray emission spectrograph Design for the ALS
We are in the process of designing and building a modular spectrometer with the goal of being portable for use at a diverse group of endstations at the ALS, LCLS and TLS. The basic design is based upon experience from several years of use with similar designs at the ALS. For detector positions of less than 1.3 m, the design incorporates a composite cantilevered swing arm. Two optical elements a...

In this study, a new approach for simulation of electric field enhancement ofplane wave laser around optical antenna was used to convert free-propagating opticalradiation to localized energy. A tapered gold tip design as a novel geometry of opticalantenna is introduced and numerically analyzed based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) by solving the Maxwell equations wit...

Attention is called to the long-known, but often ignored, property of a grating spectrograph to (de)magnify the slit width and length by different amounts. As an illustration, the "grating magnification" r is given as a function of grating tilt for the Ritchey-Chrétien spectrograph of the CTIO 4-meter telescope; we find that for large grating tilts the spectrograph slit can be opened to more th...
متن کاملAn Interference-Filter Monochromator System for the Irradiation of Biological Material.
The determination of action spectra for biological photoreactions requires that large areas be irradiated uniformly at high intensities and with narrow band widths for the resolution of spectral details: When the material is changing irreversibly with time or when long irradiation periods are required, it may be necessary to irradiate samples at ten or more different points in the spectrum simu...
متن کاملA slit grating spectrograph for quantitative soft x-ray spectroscopy
In this article we describe a new slit grating spectrograph which is based on an e-beam written 10 000 linepairs/mm freestanding transmission diffraction grating. In combination with a thinned, back-illuminated charge coupled device ~CCD!, the spectrograph allows for real-time spectroscopy of laser-produced plasma x-ray sources within the wavelength region l51–20 nm. Calibration of grating and ...
