Tunable Light for Spectroscopy and Spectral Imaging
Selecting a proper wavelength is a critical procedure for spectroscopy and microscopy. Traditional methods such as filters, monochromators, and acousto-optic tunable filters have advantages and disadvantages. Users choose the best item suited to their purpose of use, costs, required properties, and compatibility with their system. Our partner Spectrolight developed a device to combine the advantages of existing equipment. The underlying technology is TwinFilm technology, which consists of broadband angle dependence bandpass filter. Combined with a broadband light source, a plug&play tunable light source is formed and can be used without any alignment or adjustments. Light sources and filters can be tailored for the requirements of many applications and provide effortless tuning of light on a compact footprint.
Tunable Bandpass Filters
SLI’s bandpass filters can be applied to both, for the excitation and analyzing the emission of samples in imaging applications. The filters are independently rotatable, converting collimated broadband light into any desired combination of center wavelength and bandwidth. The components can be configured for a broadband spectral coverage with high transmission and high out-of-band blocking. An additional compensators ensures a stable output beam position.
Broadband and Tunable Light Sources
Spectrolight offers unique light sources and related accessories for more advanced applications. Based on various technologies, they are capable for CW or ultrafast picosecond-pulsed output from the UV to the Mid-IR. The broadband output can be combined with the tunable or fixed wavelength filters, to form a plug&play tunable light sources without any alignment or adjustments for convenient usability.
The tunable bandpass filters and broadband light sources are supplied by GWU’s partner Spectrolight.
