Performance spectroradiometric system is economic
Jobin Yvon is pleased to introduce the SpectRad Gemini - a dedicated, fully integrated, spectroradiometric system offering high performance at an economical price.
The holographic gratings, (up to 5870 grooves per millimeter) present outstanding performance in efficiency and spectral purity: "The COS instrument will be 20 times more sensitive than anything flying today.
The gratings were delivered above the specifications, on time and at cost," said Professor Green.
Jobin Yvon has produced challenging diffraction gratings for a number of NASA space born astronomical projects such as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST),Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), the Space Telescope Spectrograph (STIS), the Lyman Fuse Spectrograph (FUSE), and others.
