    EUROPEAN UNION CE MARK The presence of the CE Mark on Newport Corporation equipment means that it has been designed, tested and certified as complying with all applicable European Union (CE) regulations and recommendations.

  • Page 7: General Warnings

    Make all connections to or from the instrument with the power off. The Cornerstone 260B requires DC voltage for operation, which is provided by an external power supply. This power supply has no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open the external power supply.

  • Page 8: Mechanical Handling

    MCS260B CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 1.4 MECHANICAL HANDLING Avoid dropping, sudden shocks, or rough handling of the monochromator since this may cause the system to lose its calibration and may destroy the high precision drive components or optics. 1.5 OPTICS CARE AND HANDLING Do not touch any optical surfaces since this is likely to cause irreparable damage.

    MCS260B CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS Cornerstone 260B incorporates a sophisticated design, proven materials, and a quality manufacturing system to ensure high stray light rejection. The amount of stray light measured on top of true signal will depend on many experimental factors as well as the performance of the instrument.

    CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 2.4 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS The applications for the Cornerstone 260B monochromator are practically limitless. Here we present one example. A quantum efficiency measurement system using an optically chopped light source used with a lock-in digital amplifier to extract small signal levels from background radiation.

  • Page 13: Initial Setup

    Inspect the shipping box for external signs of damage or mishandling. Inspect the contents for damage. If any item is missing or damaged, immediately contact the Newport representative from whom the system was purchased.

  • Page 14: Mounting Options

    The feet may be removed to secure the base plate to an inch or metric optical table. The most economical option is to use optical rods and rod holders to mount the Cornerstone 260B to an optical table or breadboard. On the monochromator’s mounting surface, four #1/4-20 threaded holes may be used to install standard optical rods.

  • Page 15: Electrical And Computer Connections

    Read all warnings before installing or operating this system. If there are any questions or concerns, contact Oriel Instruments or the regional sales representative for Newport. ELECTRICAL SHOCK Never attempt to open the lamp power supply or monochromator power adapter.

    MCS260B CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS Figure 6: Monochromator Connections. A USB cable (model 70044) and RS-232 and cable (model 70040) are included with each Cornerstone 260B. If using a commercially available USB-to-RS-232 converter cable, the driver for this cable must be installed before communication to the monochromator can be established.

  • Page 17: Shutter

    CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 4 SHUTTER An electronic shutter is integrated into the Cornerstone 260B monochromator’s design. It is mounted inside the housing at the input port. This shutter is normally closed. The shutter is used to close the light path when light is not required. This allows the light source to remain on, and therefore remain warmed up, so that it continues to provide stable performance.

  • Page 18: Input And Output Slits

    To operate any monochromator, slits are required at the input and output port. The slit assemblies offered with the Cornerstone 260B all have 1.5-inch male flanges, allowing them to be easily connected to the wide variety of Oriel accessories and instruments.

    MCS260B CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 5.2 MICROMETER ADJUSTABLE SLITS µm) Micrometer adjustable slit assemblies are continuously variable from fully closed (4 to 3 mm width (Fig 10). A height adjustment slide allows variation in the height from 3 to 12 mm. Benefits of the micrometer adjustable slits are flexibility and high throughput.

  • Page 21: Diffraction Gratings

    Diffraction gratings are used to spatially separate light of different wavelengths. They have replaced prisms in most fields of spectral analysis. Up to four gratings are installed into the Cornerstone 260B monochromator, depending upon the configuration selected. In general, the grating with the highest efficiency is chosen at a particular wavelength.

  • Page 22: Grating Types

    MCS260B CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 6.1 GRATING TYPES Ruled grating masters are produced using a ruling engine with an extremely fine cutting tool. Holographic gratings (also called interference gratings) are produced by recording interference fringes in photoresist. The two different techniques cause some differences in performance.

  • Page 23: Grating Efficiency And Blazing

    MCS260B CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 6.2 GRATING EFFICIENCY AND BLAZING Efficiency and its variation with wavelength and spectral order are important characteristics of a diffraction grating. For a reflection grating, efficiency is defined as the energy flow (power) of monochromatic light diffracted into the order being measured, relative either to the energy flow of the incident light (absolute efficiency) or to the energy flow of specular reflection from a polished mirror substrate coated with the same material (relative efficiency).

  • Page 28: Monochromator Resolution

    Resolution is calculated for each grating at the grating's blaze wavelength, i.e. the wavelength with the greatest efficiency. Actual performance is determined by the monochromator wavelength accuracy, precision and calibration. Newport suggests having the monochromator recalibrated annually by a qualified service technician.

The monochromator has an acceptance pyramid, often described by an F/#. The position and dimensions of the internal optics determines the pyramid.

  • Page 30: F Number Matching

    CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 8.2 F NUMBER MATCHING The Cornerstone 260B monochromator is an F/3.9 instrument. Without matching the F/# of the incoming light beam, stray light increases, and throughput of desired signal suffers. To illustrate this, the photos below show a fiber optic cable placed at the entrance of a monochromator. Fibers are typically F/2.

  • Page 31: Blocking Higher Order Radiation

    Erroneous measurements may be taken because what was thought to be a measurement with a single wavelength was a measurement using radiation at that wavelength – but contaminated with higher order radiation. Consider using Newport’s Colored-Glass Alternative Filters for blocking higher order diffraction.

  • Page 32: Filter Wheel

    The Cornerstone 260B is designed and manufactured to have errors of only a fraction of a millimeter in the focal distance. Positioning the filters externally, usually before the input slit, has only a slight effect on the light throughput.

    MCS260B CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 18 APPENDIX IV: GRATING PHYSICS TUTORIAL 18.1 THE GRATING EQUATION A typical diffraction grating consists of a substrate, usually of an “optical material”, with a large number of parallel grooves ruled or replicated in its surface and overcoated with a reflecting material such as aluminum.

  • Page 71: The Grating Equation In Practice

    MCS260B CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 18.2 THE GRATING EQUATION IN PRACTICE When a parallel beam of monochromatic light is incident on a grating, the light is diffracted from the grating in directions corresponding to m = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. When a parallel beam of polychromatic light is incident on a grating then the light is dispersed so that each wavelength satisfies the grating equation.

    MCS260B CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS 18.3 GRATING ORDER It is important to note the sign of “m” is given by either form of the grating equation and can be positive or negative. In a monochromator, the angles I and D are determined by the rotational position of the grating.
