Horiba / Jobin Yvon / ISA TRIAX550 Spectrometer Description

Functions

This spectrometer is designed for optical emission spectroscopy, providing high-resolution spectral analysis across ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths. It operates on a monochromator platform utilizing triaxial diffraction gratings for precise wavelength selection and dispersion. The device interfaces with photodetectors and signal processors, allowing integration with sample excitation sources such as plasma or laser systems. It supports data acquisition and analysis software connections for quantitative and qualitative elemental and molecular characterization, commonly applied in materials science, chemical analysis, and plasma diagnostics.

Platforms

Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 and Linux platforms via RS-232, USB, and IEEE-488 GPIB interfaces. Compatible with LabVIEW, Visual Basic, C++ development environments through provided DLL libraries and ActiveX controls. Integrates with CCD detectors, PMT modules, and InGaAs arrays via standard BNC and proprietary multi-pin connectors. Supports synchronization with external shutters, filter wheels, and light sources through TTL trigger inputs/outputs. Compatible with optical tables and breadboards using standard 1/4-20 mounting points. Works with fiber optic bundles and microscope adapters through C-mount and F-mount flanges.

Applications

Facilitates high-resolution spectroscopic analysis across UV-Vis-NIR ranges for photoluminescence, Raman scattering, absorption, and emission measurements. Utilized in material science, chemical research, and optical characterization for studying electronic transitions, vibrational modes, and elemental compositions of samples.

Accessories

Mini-USB port for data communication, DB25 port for peripheral control. Requires CCD camera detector or photomultiplier tube detector. Compatible with Horiba Symphony or Synapse CCD controllers. Accepts diffraction gratings (300-1800 grooves/mm). Features RS-232 interface port and IEEE-488 interface. Requires external computer with acquisition software (SynerJY or LabSpec). Supports external motorized slit accessory. Accepts fiber optic adapters and microscope coupling flanges. Operates with TE-cooled silicon or InGaAs array detectors.

Interfaces

Two entrance ports and two exit ports for optical input/output; motorized or manual wavelength selection control; high-speed USB interface for computer connection; accepts up to three interchangeable diffraction gratings on a turret; physically dimensioned for mounting with 76 mm x 76 mm gratings; imaging spectrograph optics with f/6.4 aperture; connectors for control and data communication via USB; no detailed pin count disclosed but standard USB likely Type B or similar for instrument control.

Specifications

Imaging spectrometer designed for high-resolution multichannel spectroscopy with a 550 mm focal length and f/6.4 aperture. Features toroidal mirrors and asymmetric optical path to maintain excellent image quality and resolution across the slit and dispersion axis. Provides up to three gratings on a single turret for flexible spectral range and resolution adjustment. Optimized for low stray light and maximum optical throughput, suitable for applications requiring precise wavelength accuracy and imaging performance in the UV to IR spectral range. Interfaces typically include standard spectrometer ports for integration with detectors and light sources.
