Step-by-Step System Configuration
How to customize the Shamrock 163:
Step 1. - Chassis configuration
Select type of optics coating required (aluminium + MgF2 is standard, protected silver coated optics available on request for NIR detection)
Step 2. - Resolution & band-pass
a) Select the appropriate Shamrock spectrograph platform, giving due consideration to bandpass and spectral range requirement.
b) Select gratings and detector to fulfill resolution requirements.
Select gratings for suitable wavelength coverage.
Step 3. - Input light coupling interface
Refer to accessory tree for available configurations (direct coupling, fibre coupling or 3rd party hardware connectivity).
Step 4. - Software interface
When used in conjunction with Andor detectors, select either state-of-the-art Solis software or Software Development Kit (SDK) option – please refer to appropriate section for further information.

Optics Coatings Reflectivity Graph
The graph shows the standard Al + MgF2 optics coatings reflection efficiency versus wavelengths.Protected silver coated optics option is also available on request for maximum efficiency in the NIR region and is recommended for working with Andor iDus InGaAs detectors. When choosing protected silver coatings, it is strongly recommended to also order protected silver coated gratings for maximum efficiency throughout the system.
Chassis Accessories
NOTE: Not to be used in conjunction with imaging corrected (multi-track enabling) input accessories
Czerny-Turner spectrographs are designed to provide the best optical performance for a range of grating angles as reflected on the green parts of the graph above. Outside this range, the spectral lines may exhibit a degree of optical aberration (such as coma), which will become more prominent at the steeper angles. These configurations are reflected by the orange to red scales on the graph. In these regions, consideration should be given to higher spectrograph focal length models with lower groove density gratings to achieve the desired resolution.

Where aberration is a concern for a particular experimental set-up, the table above shows resolution and band-pass performance for a variety of alternative configurations. This should be used in conjunction with the graph above to assist in selecting the most appropriate Shamrock spectrograph platform to meet resolution and band-pass needs, whilst minimising the risk of potential aberration.
Choosing The Right Grating vs Resolution & Band-pass
The Shamrock 163 grating mount has been designed for easy integration and interchangeability. A simple finger-tight locking mechanism combined with a precision locating fixture ensure accurate and rapid system upgradability. Please select the grating or gratings you require from the selection in the table below.

Important Consideration
System throughput is dependent on the grating’s angle of operation and may decrease with higher grating operating
angles.
Selecting The Correct Light Coupling Interfaces
