High output tuneable light source
The Hyperchromator
An efficient high output tuneable light source utilising the high-brightness Energetiq EQ-99X LDLS™ Laser Driven Light Source and a specially designed monochromator has been developed by Mountain Photonics.
The Hyperchromator uses an off-axis parabolic mirror to focus the broadband light generated by the small plasma spot of the LDLS™ directly onto a diffraction grating, and then off a second mirror to an exit port.
As no entrance slit is used, the optical efficiency of the system is very high - typically f/1.5 or f/2, depending on the required resolution or throughput. A white light bypass output is also available.
The output port has been designed to allow for a multitude of illumination or light coupling options. By using standard catalogue components, the Hyperchromator can be easily integrated into an application.
