Vacuum UV Monochromator features aberration correction.

Press Release Summary:



Model 231 Seya Namioka, with 1 m focal length, utilizes aberration corrected gratings to optimize beam shape around focus point. Optical geometry handles applications from 30 nm to visible. Optical system uses single reflective element to disperse and focus. Workspace around entrance and exit slits facilitates mounting and interface to experiments in vacuum chambers. Applications include vacuum UV laser interaction experiments and general photochemical, photolysis, harmonic generation research.

Aberration Corrected Vacuum Ultraviolet Monochromator


The enhanced McPherson Model 231 1-meter focal length Seya Namioka vacuum ultraviolet monochromator is available now. The new design benefits users by use of aberration corrected gratings for improved performance and better (smaller) beam shape around the focus point. The Seya Namioka optical geometry is ideal for work from about 30-nm to the Visible. The efficient optical system uses only a single reflective element to disperse and focus.

The McPherson Seya Namioka provides ample workspace around the entrance and exit slits. This simplifies mounting and interface to experiments in vacuum chambers. Better focusing and light collection improve signal to noise for all experiments. Better imaging (aberration correction) improves results of vacuum ultraviolet laser interaction experiments, as well as general photochemical, photolysis, harmonic generation research.
