Measurement of spectral bandwidth, as exemplified with the Beckman "Enzyme Analyzer System TR spectrophotometer".

چکیده
This paper describes simple methods for determining spectral bandwidth by measurement and by calculation. We measured the spectral bandwidth of the monochromator from the Beckman Enzyme Analyzer TR, and found it to be 3.5-4.0 nm (av 3.8) by two different methods. We visually estimated it to be 4 nm. Using the specifications for the diffraction grafting, focal length, and fixed slit width, we calculated the theoretical spectral bandwidth to be 3.6 nm.

In this evaluation of the Beckman Synchron CX3, the multi-analyte clinical chemistry analyzer exhibited high precision, good linearity, and no carryover for each of the eight analytes measured. Results obtained correlated well with those produced by our routine instrumentation (Beckman Astra, Varian atomic absorption spectrophotometer). The instrument can process up to 75 samples per hour (600 ...
متن کاملThe Impact of the Spectral Filter Bandwidth on the Spectral Entanglement and Indistinguishability of Photon Pairs of SPDC Process
In this paper, we have investigated the dependence of the spectral entanglement and indistinguishability of photon pairs produced by the spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) procedure on the bandwidth of spectral filters used in the detection setup. The SPDC is a three-wave mixing process which occurs in a nonlinear crystal and generates entangled photon pairs and utilizes as one of th...
متن کاملMeasuring Sharp Spectral Edges to High Optical Density
Interference filters have improved over the years. Sharp spectral edges (> 1 db/nm) reach high optical density (OD > 8) in a few nm. In-situ optical monitoring to within 0.1 % error enables these levels of performance. Due to limitations related to f-number and resolution bandwidth, post-deposition testing in typical spectrophotometers cannot reveal the quality of today’s filters. Laser based m...
