Imaging Spectrometer - Horiba

Seamless Integration with Synapse
and Symphony ® CCD Detectors
HORIBA Jobin Yvon was the first spectroscopy-based company
to embrace the emerging CCD detector technology and to integrate
the unique two-dimensional capabilities of these detectors
with spectrometer control functions. HORIBA Jobin Yvon has
15 years of experience in manufacturing CCD detectors in-house
and optimizing both our CCD and spectrometer designs for
unmatched spectroscopic performance.
A full line of large and small format CCD chips is available to
work with the spectrometers. Chip innovations from wavelength
optimized back illuminated chips to deep depletion versions are
available in both TE-cooled and LN-cooled housings. Due to
varied parameters of the CCD, spectral coverage and resolution
of the system will depend on the chosen gratings and the
chosen CCD. The following table describes the expected spectral
coverage and resolution of the spectrometers with different
gratings and typical CCD detectors.

* The system’s optical range will depend not only on the grating groove density, but also the grating blaze angle and the detector’s spectral response.
** Dispersion, Spectral Coverage and Resolution values are given for 500 nm. These values may vary at different wavelengths.
