PHOTON RT UV-VIS-MWIR SPECTROPHOTOMETER

World's first spectrophotometer designed for optical coaters
World's only instrument to feature UV-MWIR (220-5200 nm) polarization measurement capability, a unique opportunity offering deeper insight into real performance of optical coatings

The PHOTON RT UV-VIS-MWIR scanning spectrophotometer is designed specifically for unattended measurement of optical samples with coatings. The instrument is produced in six configurations relative to the effective wavelength range - from 185 nm up to 5200 nm.

Multi-axis movement of the measurement channel - testing of sophisticated cemented prisms at any angles of incidence with variable off-set or arbitrary direction of the outgoing beam

Unique optical design - measurement from 185 nm up to 5200 nm in one instrument

Optional sample stages designed for fast, complex or batch measurements

Special low-noise detectors are selected to qualify coatings with extreme specifications

Improved monochromator generates a highly collimated beam, produces low stray light and gives a high signal-to-noise ratio

KEY ADVANTAGES:

Record-wide wavelength range configuration in a single instrument: 185-5200 nm
More than 10 times faster measurement compared to other tools on the market
No need to re-calibrate the baseline after change of angle of incidence
Measurement of transmittance and absolute specular reflectance from the same area on the substrate – perfect for backward analyses of thin film design
Measurement of complex cemented prisms with arbitrary direction of outgoing beams
Measurement of beamsplitters with variable AOI's and beam off-set up to +/- 60 mm
Radically minimized human errors in the measurement process due to fully automated procedures

Auto-detect motorized stages

Z STAGE
	Offers baseline calibration and subsequent test without user intervention
XY STAGE
	Designed for testing a sample at multiple surface points
MULTIPLE SAMPLE STAGE
	Designed for fully automatic testing of 7 samples (1" or 30 mm OD size) including baseline calibration
