供应美国 Lightsmyth 相干光栅阵列Coherent Grating Arrays

9. Coherent Grating Arrays相干光栅组LightSmyth is proud to introduce monolithic, single-substrate, silicon grating arrays (Figure 1) that uniquely provide continuous high-resolution access to optical bandwidths beyond that achievable with a single grating. No moving parts are required. LightSmyth’s monolithic grating arrays are consistent with single-shot data acquisition for many broadband applications (e.g. laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and can help reduce system component numbers dramatically). Each array consists of multiple primary gratings all formed coherently on a single substrate. The primary gratings have contiguous, slightly overlapping active spectral ranges. Additionally, auxiliary gratings at the top and bottom of the substrate produce optical outputs used for the straightforward calibration of the output field using a single reference wavelength such as a HeNe laser.
Calibration/Alignment Features 校准对齐功能
The six small gratings at the top and bottom of the array (reference Figure 1) provide markers for calibrating the spectral output as well as assisting in system alignment. The calibration marks, here for HeNe illumination, are shown schematically in Figure 4. The calibration marks provide two principal functions:

1. They indicate the beginning and end points of the calibrated portion of the primary grating output. They thus allow the user to calibrate the wavelength as a function of position along each of the primary gratings dispersion lines.  Note that the wavelength range denoted by the calibration spots is independent of the grating input angle, making the LightSmyth grating array extraordinarily versatile with respect to possible device layouts.
2. The auxiliary gratings aid in system alignment. When the detector surface is properly positioned in the focal plane of the post-array focusing mirror, the two pairs of alignment marks are designed to coincide, indicating proper far-field operation. The two center marks enable correct horizontal alignment of array and detector surface.

1The calibration markers listed are produced by a HeNe laser incident on the small calibration gratings. Use of a different calibration light source having a different wavelength will produce markers (see Fig. 4) coinciding with different values of the dispersed spectra of the four primary gratings. Using a common input angle for calibration light and signal, the calibration marks delineate spectral output ranges of the primary gratings that are independent of grating input angle.
