СПОСОБЫ УЛУЧШЕНИЯ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИК СПЕКТРОМЕТРОВ ВЫСОКОГО РАЗРЕШЕНИЯ

Abstract

The present paper demonstrates results of high-resolution spectrometer characteristics improvement methods. Increasing resolution, spectral range extending and illumination efficiency for the spectrometer were investigated. Obtained results will be found useful in atomic spectroscopy applications such as atomic absorption, atomic emission spectroscopy, mass-spectroscopy, chromatography and others. In order to increase spectrometer resolution it was suggested to use higher diffractive grating curvature radius. Experimentally, characteristics of both spectrometer prototypes assembled using diffractive gratings R1000 and R2000 were obtained and compared. New approach for polychromatous displacement was developed in order to extend operational spectrum range. The main feature is single spectrometer entrance slit for both UV and visible range Paschen-Runge polychromatous with beam splitting by coupled flat folding mirrors placed behind slit. Diffractive grating illumination monitor system was designed in order to provide this spectrometer by alignment control for lightning system. New spectrometer “Grand-2” was fabricated. It includes coupled Paschen-Runge polychromators for UV and visible spectral range providing 12 and 30 pm spectral resolution respectively with single entrance slit equipped with diffractive grating illumination monitoring system. This spectrometer can be used for various atomic spectroscopy applications.
