Utilizing a unique f/# matching fiber optic input adapter mounted to the entrance slit, SureSpectrum eliminates the difficulty of coupling the fiber optic bundles to the spectrograph. The coupling mechanism used by Bruker to mount single fibers or vertical stacks of fibers to the entrance slit offers the extremely repeatable and easy to install methods of attaching the fibers. By f/# matching the output of the fiber to the spectrograph, the user avoids overfilling the optical system (which acts as a source of stray light) or underfilling the optical system (which has a negative effect on throughput and resolution).

All of the optical components for SureSpectrum are mounted from the same, solid one-piece base plate, ensuring a very stable and reliable optical alignment platform.

Bruker uses gratings from the world’s leading suppliers and offers ruled and ion etched holographic and traditional sinusoidal holographic designs. This choice allows the user to select gratings that increase efficiency over a specific region or give a lower stray light, flatter response to the spectrograph.
