AST/ASTN Series Wavelength Tunable Light Sources

AST/ASTN Series are the wavelength tunable light sources.
DETAIL

  • Simple and Flexible

Spectral Products has a tunable light source to meet your needs. Each model is based on our popular CM110 dual grating, 1/8-meter monochromator, paired with one of Spectral Products' broad b and light sources. When purchased together as a tunable light source, you get pre-adjusted coupling and the best-matched grating(s) preloaded. Depending on the requirements for better resolution/accuracy, other DK240 or DK480 monochromator can be coupled.
 

  • Features

  • Variable narrowband light output selection from UV (200nm) to Near IR (2.2µm)
  • Computer controlled via standard RS232 interface
  • Scans in both directions and in nanometers, Angstroms, microns, wave-numbers, or eV
  • May be configured for optimal fiber optic illumination
  • Modular design allows for reconfiguring
  • Attenuation control
  • Couples to Spectral Products equipment
