Oriel MS257™ 1/4 m Monochromator and Imaging Spectrograph

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a comprehensive description of the Oriel MS257™ 1/4 m Monochromator and Imaging Spectrograph, detailing its features, specifications, and applications in spectroscopy.
Specifications: The MS257 is an automated instrument with a 257.4 mm focal length, usable as a monochromator or imaging spectrograph. It features an F/3.9 aperture, supports four gratings, and has negligible stray light. It includes two output ports and one input port, with an optional accessory for two inputs.
High Efficiency: The low F/number of 3.9 and slits up to 5 mm wide x 20 mm high ensure efficient throughput. Optics are coated with aluminum and magnesium fluoride for improved UV efficiency. The 77708 Multiple Grating Turret allows selection of up to four gratings.
Optical Configuration: The MS257 uses an asymmetric in-plane Czerny-Turner configuration, optimized to minimize coma and eliminate re-diffracted light, providing a flat focal field and corrected optics for the entire wavelength range.
Input and Output Ports: The MS257 has one entrance port and two output ports. The axial output port is preferred to avoid light losses, while the lateral port offers flexibility. The 77716 Motorized Flip Mirror allows automatic switching between ports.
Corrected Optics: High-quality spherical optics ensure excellent resolution. Toroidal mirrors are used for accurate slit imaging.
Filter Wheel: The MS257 can control up to two filter wheels, each holding five filters, mounted externally to maintain optical performance.
Shutters: Two internal shutters are available: the 77755 Background Shutter for dark scans and the 77717 Fast Shutter for high rep rate applications.
Fine Focus Adjustment: A fine focus adjustment is included for optimizing image location on a focal plane detector.
Mounting: The MS257 supports optical accessories and can be mounted to an optical table using the 77775 Mounting Kit.
Gratings: The 77708 Multiple Grating Turret allows for easy switching between gratings, maintaining high resolution and light throughput.
Slit Assemblies: Various slit assemblies are available, including fixed and variable options, with high precision and accuracy.
Communication: The MS257 can be controlled via TTL level Input/Output BNCs, RS-232, and optional IEEE-488 interfaces.
Communication Interfaces: The MS257 supports RS-232 and IEEE-488 protocols for external computer control, configured for TTL, hand controller, and RS-232, with the IEEE-488 interface as an optional accessory.
TTL Interface: Features binary Input/Output communication for synchronizing scanning processes with data acquisition, including signals like SCAN, WAIT, SHUTTER OUT, PORT, GO, and SHUTTER IN.
Hand Controller: The 77709 Hand Controller is designed for the MS257, featuring 40 keys and a 4-line backlit LCD display, providing intuitive access to system functions.
Software Options: Includes a command set and configuration program, with optional LabView VIs and TRACQ Basic or Pro™ Data Acquisition Software for enhanced data handling and integration.
Double Monochromator Configurations: Compares additive and subtractive double monochromator setups. Additive configurations offer better resolution, while subtractive configurations homogenize the spectrum.
Stray Light Management: Double monochromator systems significantly reduce stray light, with the second monochromator acting as a narrow variable filter. Proper slit width management is crucial.
System Specifications: Features an asymmetrical Czerny-Turner design with specific focal lengths, mirror types, and wavelength ranges, offering precise wavelength resolution, accuracy, and repeatability.
Accessories and Ordering Information: Lists various models and configurations for gratings, slit assemblies, and additional accessories like motorized mirrors and filter wheels, providing comprehensive ordering information.

It is an F/3.9 instrument with a focal length of 257.4 mm, usable as a monochromator or true flat field imaging spectrograph. Stray light is negligible, and there is no re-entrant spectra. The MS257 has 2 output ports, 1 input port (with optional accessory can support 2 inputs), and supports 4 gratings. High Efficiency The low F/number of 3.9 (a numerical aperture of 0.128) combined with slits of up to 5 mm wide x 20 mm high, gives an efficient throughput. The dispersion is similar to that of our other 1/4 m monochromators, and twice that of our 1/8 m systems. Both the mirrors and gratings in MS257 further enhance throughput. Each of the optics is coated with aluminum and a magnesium fluoride overcoat which improves their UV efficiency. (Contact a Sales Engineer for gold coated optics.) The 77708 Multiple Grating Turret allows you to choose up to four gratings to cover your wavelength range.

The input F/# is 3.9, and the input and exit focal lengths are unequal, 220.0 and 257.4 mm respectively. The design was carefully optimized to: • Minimize coma throughout the working wavelength range • Eliminate re-diffracted light from either of the two main mirrors • Eliminate re-diffracted light from reflections off the window or surface of a focal plane detector • Provide the best flat focal field for the entire working wavelength range • Provide the best imaging using corrected optics (toroids) over the entire working wavelength range Input and Output Ports MS257 has one entrance port and two output ports (see Fig. 2). Normally, the axial output port is used since this does not require a turning mirror and therefore prevents additional light losses at the extra reflecting surface. However, the in-line configuration of the lateral port offers greater detector mounting flexibility. To use just the lateral output port you’ll need the 77718 Side Exit Mirror. This mirror is prealigned and can be inserted in the field. If you intend to use both output ports, and regularly switch between them, you should use the 77716 Motorized Flip Mirror. You can pre-program MS257 to automatically change the output port at a particular wavelength. The mirror drive has excellent positioning reproducibility of better than 0.05 nm (with a 1200 l/mm grating). This precision is essential to obtaining reproducible scans when changing detectors in mid scan. An Auxiliary Input Port, or Motorized Beam Steerer (model 77713 110V or 77765 220V), is available to convert MS257 to a four port monochromator or spectrograph. This is an external accessory and has a motor driven mirror which is similar to the output mirror drive of the 77716. It enables two sources to be alternately switched into the input port, for example a deuterium lamp and quartz halogen lamp (See Fig. 3). The mirror can be controlled through the MS257 command • 1/4 m monochromator and imaging spectrograph in one instrument • 4 grating turret with automatic grating switching • Two flat field output ports with automatic port switching • Negligible stray light and no re-entrant spectra • RS-232 and optional IEEE-488 interfaces
