Description

maxLIGHT pro 
high-efficiency spectrometer

  • flat-field grazing-incidence spectrometer
  • highest efficiency due to proprietary no-slit design
  • wavelength range from 1 to 200 nm
  • integrated beamprofiler
  • modular, turn-key design


maxLIGHT offers maximum light collection and the highest efficiency in the industry due to its no-slit design. Aberration-corrected flat-field wavelength coverage spans 1nm to 200nm with extensive spectral bandwidths, e. g. 5-80nm per individual grating.

The modular design matches a variety of experimental geometries and configurations. maxLIGHT features an integrated slit holder and filter insertion unit, as well as a motorized grating positioning.

Detector options include both XUV CCDs for highest resolution and dynamic range, and MCP/CMOS detectors for broadest wavelength coverage and gated / intensified detection. Please contact us to discuss your needs.

Customized derivatives of our maxLIGHT spectrometer are also available.

No-slit design
The proprietary spectrometer design by HP Spectroscopy uses direct source imaging. Consequently, a narrow entrance slit is not needed and light collection is maximized. Comparing with traditional spectrometer architectures, a factor of 20 more light reaches the spectrometer detector. The architecture also greatly increases day-to-day operation robustness.
