  This blog features our extremely popular FREEDOM series of spectrometers using the latest CMOS detector technology. This combination of spectrometer and detector enables us to deliver highly sensitive and fast spectrometers with high resolution and low stray light in a very compact form factor. Spectrometer FREEDOM 101 The FREEDOM 101 spectrometers provide sensitivity, accuracy, and speed that you have previously only been able to obtain with expensive CCD detectors. This is accomplished through the use of a new CMOS technology that offers roughly the same sensitivity as CCD sensors. Our FREEDOM spectrometers combine compact size with high performance in terms of high resolution and low

- a Necessity for Your LIBS Instrument Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is an extremely versatile spectroscopic technique that can be used to analyze the atomic composition of virtually any material. In a LIBS system, a short laser pulse is used to ablate material from the surface of a sample. The laser pulse energy will be high enough to create bright plasma on the surface of the sample. When choosing a spectrometer for your LIBS application there are various parameters that are important, depending on your requirements. Ibsen believes that the 3 following features are among some of the most

A grating with high groove density has a high dispersion. This means that the angular separation of wavelengths from the grating is large. It can be desirable to choose a grating with high groove density for two main reasons: To obtain a compact design (for a wide wavelength range) To obtain a high resolution (for a narrow wavelength range) However, there is a physical limit to how high the grating groove density can be. In this post we will derive a simple formula for calculating the maximum groove density GMAX for a grating that should cover a certain wavelength range λMIN
