SpectraPro HRS Spectrographs and Monochromators
New, Versatile, High Resolution Imaging Spectrographs and Scanning Monochromators
For more than 25 years, SpectraPro spectrometers from Princeton Instruments have set new standards for reliable high-performance spectroscopy. Day in and day out, researchers around the world depend on these popular spectrographs and monochromators for a wide variety of scientific and industrial applications.
Building upon the legacy of these iconic research instruments, Princeton Instruments has now created an even more versatile, higher-resolution spectroscopy solution. New SpectraPro HRS imaging spectrographs are absolutely packed with the latest technology and are capable of facilitating just about any spectroscopy application imaginable.
SpectraPro HRS benefits include:
-
Exclusive AccuDrive™ grating drive system yields up to 3X improvement in wavelength accuracy
-
ResXtreme™ spectral deconvolution improves spectral resolution and SNR up to 60%
-
Most precise wavelength and intensity calibration with
-
High spectral resolution PLUS reduced astigmatism
-
Multiple exit ports provide unrivaled versatility for multi-detector operation
-
Fully supported by 64-bit LightField software
Unrivaled versatility!
The SpectraPro HRS affords researchers truly unrivaled experimental versatility. Dual exit ports, each with a full 30 mm focal plane, permit mounting and operation of two array detectors (which could include any of Princeton Instruments’ CCD, EMCCD, ICCD, sCMOS, or InGaAs detectors) or enable the instrument to operate as both a monochromator and a spectrograph.

Applications for SpectraPro spectrometers include:
Raman spectroscopy | Fluorescence | Photoluminescence | Plasma emission | Absorption | Transmission | Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) | Microspectroscopy
TERS - Tip-Enhanced Raman spectroscopy
LIBS is considered one of the most convenient and efficient analytical techniques for trace elemental analysis in gases, solids, and liquids. LIBS spectra obtained by the Mars Curiosity Rover have confirmed that our sister planet could have harbored life
A measure of the amount of light absorbed by a sample as a beam of light passes through it.
Fluorescence, phosphorescence and photoluminescence occur when a sample is excited by absorbing photons and then emits them with a decay time that is characteristic of the sample environment.
The most common application of Raman spectroscopy involves the vibrational energy levels of a molecule. Incident laser light in the UV, visible or NIR, is scattered from molecular vibrational modes.
The different types of plasma emission spectroscopy can be categorized by how the plasma is generated. Spectra of nuclear fusion plasmas are used to ascertain the chemical species present and other properties
