Assignment
High-resolution optical spectroscopy is essential in:
- LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy)
- Raman spectroscopy
- Plasma diagnostics
- Atomic emission spectroscopy
- Material characterization
Conventional spectrometers typically use:
- Fixed CCD or CMOS detector arrays
- Fixed spectral windows
- Limited spectral coverage per acquisition
Limitations include:
- Trade-off between spectral resolution and spectral range
- Limited flexibility for different experimental requirements
- Inefficient use of detector pixel area
- Inability to zoom into specific narrow spectral regions with maximum resolution
A spectrometer with a movable detector system allows:
- Adjustable spectral window selection
- Optimized resolution in specific wavelength ranges
- Extended effective spectral coverage
- Higher flexibility for research and industrial applications
Objective
To design, build, and validate a:
- High-resolution spectrometer system
- Mechanically movable detector stage
- Precision wavelength scanning mechanism
- Software-controlled positioning and spectral stitching system
The system shall allow precise selection of spectral regions while maintaining high resolving power.
We are looking for:
