Spectrometer
- An optical instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
- The variable measured is most often the light's intensity
- A spectrometer is used in spectroscopy for producing spectral lines and measuring their wavelengths and intensities

Grating
Diffraction Grating
- An optical ponent with a surface covered by a regular pattern of parallel lines, typically with a distance between the lines parable to the wavelength of light
- Light rays that pass through such a surface are bent as a result of diffraction, related to the wave properties of light
- This diffraction angle depends on the wavelength of the light
Grating Equation k: diffraction order and n: groove density (g/mm)
Littrow Condition
Photomultiplier Tube (PMT)
- Extremely sensitive detectors of light in the ultraviolet, visible and near infrared
- Multiply the signal produced by incident light by as much as 108, from which single photons can be resolved
- Photomultipliers are constructed from a glass vacuum tube which houses a photocathode, several dynodes, and an anode
- Incident photons strike the photocathode with electrons being produced as a consequence of the photoelectric effect
- These electrons are directed by the focusing electrode towards the electron multiplier, where electrons are multiplied by the process of secondary emission
- Each dynode is held at a more positive voltage than the previous one

STSSeries OEMMicrospectrometer
Amazing Full-Spectrum Performance in a Tiny Footprint
NFOER 2W011
The STS introduces a family of pact, low-cost spectrometers that’s ideal for embedding into OEM devices. At just 40 mm x 42 mm x 24 mm (1.6”x 1.7”x 0.9”), the STS provides full spectral analysis with low stray light (<0.2% SRPR @ 450 nm), high signal-to-noise ratio (>1500:1) and optical resolution (~1.5 nm FWHM)
