New high output tuneable light source… The Hyperchromator
An efficient monochromator utilising the high-brightness Energetiq EQ-99X LDLS™ Laser Driven Light Source (right) has been developed by Mountain Photonics, and was recently demonstrated on our booth at Photonics West.
The Hyperchromator uses an off-axis parabolic mirror to focus the broadband light generated by the small plasma spot of the LDLS™ directly onto a diffraction grating, and then off a second mirror to an exit port.
As no entrance slit is used, the optical efficiency of the system is very high – typically f/1.5 or f/2, depending on the required resolution or throughput. A white light bypass output is also available.
The output port has been designed to allow for a multitude of illumination or light coupling options. By using standard catalogue components, the Hyperchromator can be easily integrated into an application.
The Hyperchromator is controlled via USB/RS-232 and an intuitive GUI, with LabVIEW™ and other software libraries supported.
Existing owners of an Energetiq EQ-99X LDLS™ can add tuneability by purchasing the Hyperchromator unit alone.

EQ-99X from Energetiq®: The Laser Driven Light Source
Energetiq‘s range of LDLS laser-driven light sources benefit from ultraclean construction to give superb long-term stability and operating life. In addition, the fibre-coupled EQ-99XFC model of LDLS features Fiber-Protection Technology™, a new technique that improves long-term deep ultraviolet output by a significant amount.
These revolutionary award-winning lamps, with focusable high brightness, broad spectral range, high stability, long life, and low cost of ownership, have set new standards in the available illumination technologies for scientists. Typical applications are:
- HPLC & high performance spectroscopy
- Advanced imaging & microscope illumination
- Environmental analysis & monitoring
- Materials characterisation & sample testing
- Gas phase measurements
If you have an application that requires stable and very bright illumination, please contact us, as we have the solution.
