HyperFine - Bright Source Spectrometers

Compact, picometer resolution spectrometers for bright sources (~lasers)

The HN series of spectrometers are designed for characterizing high intensity sources such as laser spectra, the HN Series spectrometers from LightMachinery are capable of 1 picometer resolution. These spectrometers achieve the resolution of large gratings spectrometers while covering a larger wavelength range. Simple PC based software allows the user to review spectra in real time and save or export for more analysis. Labview drivers enable the Hornet spectrometer to be integrated into automated experimental setups.
