0: Introduction About the iHR-series spectrometers

Figure 0-1: iHR550 and iHR320 spectrometers

iHR-series spectrometers are automated, triple-grating spectrometers available with a

320 mm focal length (f/4.1 aperture) or a 550 nm focal length (f/6.4 aperture). Designed

for multi-channel CCD spectroscopy, these spectrometers are ideal for a variety of re-

search applications, including:

Fluorescence

Raman spectroscopy

Photoluminescence

Emission

Near-IR spectroscopy

Microscopy

iHR-series spectrometers feature a 150 nm to 15 µm wavelength-range (depending on

the grating and detector used), and excellent resolution (0.06 nm for the iHR320, and

0.025 nm for the iHR550, using a 1200 grooves/mm grating). Other features include

high-precision automated slits, a high-precision stepper drive, and a USB 2.0 computer

interface.

The drive mechanism of the iHR allows rapid and precise scanning, offering a user-

selectable step-size. The on-axis triple-grating turret, mounted on the drive, supports

three gratings which are rotated automatically via software.

The iHR may be equipped with an internal, six-position filter-wheel accessory. An in-

terface is also provided to support an external filter wheel accessory. Other available

options include an internal shutter, and dual multi-channel detector support. Tapped

holes located on the entrance and exit slits make the iHR compatible with most

HORIBA Scientific accessories. Adapters for C-mount accessories are also available.

Risks of ultraviolet exposure

Do not aim the UV light at anyone.

Do not look directly into the light.

Always wear protective goggles, full-face shield and skin protection clothing and

gloves when using the light source.

Light is subdivided into visible light, ranging from 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red);

longer infrared, “above red” or > 700nm, also called heat; and shorter ultraviolet

radiation (UVR), “below violet” or < 400nm. UVR is further subdivided into UV-A

or near-UV (320–400 nm), also called black (invisible) light; UV-B or mid-UV

(290–320 nm), which is more skin penetrating; and UV-C or far-UV (< 290 nm).

Health effects of exposure to UV light are familiar to anyone who has had sunburn.

However, the UV light level around some UV equipment greatly exceeds the level

found in nature. Acute (short-term) effects include redness or ulceration of the skin.

At high levels of exposure, these burns can be serious. For chronic exposures, there

is also a cumulative risk of harm. This risk depends upon the amount of exposure

during your lifetime. The long-term risks for large cumulative exposure include

premature aging of the skin, wrinkles and, most seriously, skin cancer and cataract.

Damage to vision is likely following exposure to high-intensity UV radiation. In

adults, more than 99% of UV radiation is absorbed by the anterior structures of the

eye. UVR can contribute to the development of age-related cataract, pterygium,

photodermatitis, and cancer of the skin around the eye. It may also contribute to

age-related macular degeneration. Like the skin, the covering of the eye or the cor-

nea, is epithelial tissue. The danger to the eye is enhanced by the fact that light can

enter from all angles around the eye and not only in the direction of vision. This is

especially true while working in a dark environment, as the pupil is wide open. The

Caution: This instrument is used in conjunction with ultraviolet light. Exposure to these radiations, even reflected or diffused, can result in serious, and some-times irreversible, eye and skin injuries.

Overexposure to ultraviolet rays threatens human health by causing:

Immediate painful sunburn

Skin cancer

Eye damage

Immune-system suppression

Premature aging


0-9

lens can also be damaged, but because the cornea acts as a filter, the chances are re-

duced. This should not lessen the concern over lens damage however, because cata-

racts are the direct result of lens damage.

Burns to the eyes are usually more painful and serious than a burn to the skin. Make

sure your eye protection is appropriate for this work. NORMAL EYEGLASSES OR

CONTACTS OFFER VERY LIMITED PROTECTION!

Training For the use of UV sources, new users must be trained by another member of the labora-

tory who, in the opinion of the member of staff in charge of the department, is suffi-

ciently competent to give instruction on the correct procedure. Newly trained users

should be overseen for some time by a competent person.

Caution: UV exposures are not immediately felt. The us-er may not realize the hazard until it is too late and the damage is done.


0-10

Warning: Xenon lamps are dangerous. Please read the fol-lowing precautions.

Additional risks of xenon lamps

Among the dangers associated with xenon lamps

are:

Burns caused by contact with a hot xenon lamp.

Fire ignited by hot xenon lamp.

Interaction of other nearby chemicals with intense ultraviolet, visible, or infrared

radiation.

Damage caused to apparatus placed close to the xenon lamp.

Explosion or mechanical failure of the xenon lamp.

Visible radiation Any very bright visible light source will cause a human aversion response: we either

blink or turn our head away. Although we may see a retinal afterimage (which can last

for several minutes), the aversion response time (about 0.25 seconds) normally protects

our vision. This aversion response should be trusted and obeyed. NEVER STARE AT

ANY BRIGHT LIGHT-SOURCE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. Overriding the

aversion response by forcing yourself to look at a bright light-source may result in per-

manent injury to the retina. This type of injury can occur during a single prolonged ex-

posure. Excessive exposure to visible light can result in skin and eye damage.

Visible light sources that are not bright enough to cause retinal burns are not necessari-

ly safe to view for an extended period. In fact, any sufficiently bright visible light

source viewed for an extended period will eventually cause degradation of both night

and color vision. Appropriate protective filters are needed for any light source that

causes viewing discomfort when viewed for an extended period of time. For these rea-

sons, prolonged viewing of bright light sources should be limited by the use of appro-

priate filters.

The blue-light wavelengths (400–500 nm) present a unique hazard to the retina by

causing photochemical effects similar to those found in UV-radiation exposure.

Infrared radiation Infrared (or heat) radiation is defined as having a wavelength between 780 nm and 1

mm. Specific biological effectiveness “bands” have been defined by the CIE (Commis-

sion Internationale de l’Eclairage or International Commission on Illumination) as fol-

lows:

• IR-A (near IR) (780–1400 nm)

• IR-B (mid IR) (1400–3000 nm)

• IR-C (far IR) (3000 nm–1 mm)


0-11

The skin and eyes absorb infrared radiation (IR) as heat. Workers normally notice ex-

cessive exposure through heat sensation and pain. Infrared radiation in the IR-A that

enters the human eye will reach (and can be focused upon) the sensitive cells of the ret-

ina. For high irradiance sources in the IR-A, the retina is the part of the eye that is at

risk. For sources in the IR-B and IR-C, both the skin and the cornea may be at risk from

“flash burns.” In addition, the heat deposited in the cornea may be conducted to the lens

of the eye. This heating of the lens is believed to be the cause of so called “glassblow-

ers’ ” cataracts because the heat transfer may cause clouding of the lens.

Retinal IR Hazards (780 to 1400 nm): possible retinal lesions from acute high irra-

diance exposures to small dimension sources.

Lens IR Hazards (1400 to 1900 nm): possible cataract induction from chronic lower

irradiance exposures.

Corneal IR Hazards (1900 nm to 1 mm): possible flashburns from acute high irradi-

ance exposures.

Who is likely to be injured? The user and anyone exposed to the radiation or xenon

lamp shards as a result of faulty procedures. Injuries may be slight to severe.

1-3

Environmental requirements Recommended operating temperature range 20–30°C (68–86°F)

Maximum temperature fluctuation ± 2°C around average ambient temperature

Ambient relative humidity < 75%

Low levels of dust, smoke, and corrosive chemicals

No special ventilation

Caution: Excessive humidity can damage the optics.

Note: For optimum performance, keep the ambient temperature be-tween 20 and 30°C.


1-4

Caution: HORIBA Scientific is not liable for damage from line surges and voltage fluctuations. A surge pro-tector is strongly recommended for minor power fluc-tuations. For more severe voltage variations, use a generator or uninterruptible power supply. Improper

line voltages can damage the equipment severely.

Warning: The iHR spectrometer is equipped with a three-conductor power cord that is connected to the system frame (earth) ground. This ground provides a return path for fault current from equipment malfunc-tion or external faults. For all instruments, ground con-tinuity is required for safe operation. Any discontinuity in the ground line can make the instrument unsafe for use. Do not operate this system from an un-grounded source.

Electrical requirements The iHR operates from a 24 V DC input. This is provided by the universal input (100

V–240 V, 1.6 A), 24 V DC @ 2.1 A output external brick power supply (J964007) sup-

plied with the instrument. The power supply is plugged into a standard wall outlet

(mains) using a standard three-conductor power cord (J98015 for 110 V or J98020 for

220 V).


1-5

Computer requirements The iHR provides a USB interface with a built in USB 2.0 hub for communications

with a host computer. It also provides an additional USB port for connecting to a down-

stream USB device.

The iHR is controlled by HORIBA Scientific’s Spectrometer Utilities program,

SynerJY® data acquisition software, or with LabVIEW™ VIs. Computer requirements

for the iHR are:

One free USB port for USB communications

DVD drive

Meets the requirements specified by the user’s operating system

See the User’s Guide for SynerJY®

Software Version 3.5 for computer software

and hardware requirements, such as Windows® 2000, Vista, XP or 7 (32-bit

compatibility mode); PC is typically configured with 3 or more USB ports; 1

GB RAM, minimum; 1GB available hard-disk space


1-6

Caution: Never touch the grating surface—not even with lens tissue. Damage can easily occur and de-grade performance. Such damage is not covered by warranty. Fingerprints on a grating surface cause per-manent damage. If fingerprints get on the grating sur-face, do not attempt to clean them.

Safety requirements Observe the following precautions to prevent possible damage to the iHR:

Do not connect or disconnect any cables to or from the iHR when the instru-

ment is powered on.

Keep the grating in a closed instrument or storage container at all times.

Do not touch the grating surface.


1-7

General maintenance requirements We recommend periodically cleaning the external surfaces of the iHR by wiping them

down with a clean, damp cloth. Only perform this procedure on external surfaces. Do

not use any other solvents, soaps, or abrasives when cleaning, for these products can

damage surface finishes.

While the mirrors and gratings of the iHR require no routine maintenance, exercise care

to prevent damage to their surfaces. Should dust particles accumulate on the grating

surface, it is better to leave them rather than risk possible surface damage caused by

cleaning.


1-8

Unpacking and installation Introduction

Before use, set up your iHR spectrometer and all accompanying components. The in-

stallation of your HORIBA Scientific spectrometer and application software has several

separate stages that must be completed in the order below for the system to operate

properly.

Unpacking and equipment inspection

Installing the tilt feet

Installing the grating

Installing a CCD detector (optional)

Installing USB Spectrometer Utilities software

Connecting electrical interface cables

Additional procedures for mounting accessories to the iHR are found in Appendix D.

Caution: The spectrometer and accessories are delicate. Mishandling may seriously damage their components. The HORIBA Instruments Incorporated warranty on the iHR does not cover damage to the system’s optical components that arises as a result of improper han-dling.

Note: Many public carriers will not recognize a claim for concealed damage if it is reported later than 15 days after delivery. In case of a claim, inspection by an agent of the carrier is required.

4 Install an optional CCD camera iHR spectrograph models purchased with HORIBA Scientific CCD cameras are

shipped with the CCD flange already attached to the camera. HORIBA

Scientific CCDs are focused and aligned at the factory. When the CCD cameras

are installed in the iHR, using the procedure and diagram below, they should be

properly aligned and require no further adjustments.

If you are using a CCD not manufactured by HORIBA Scientific, the flange

requires mounting to the CCD (see the CCD Flange Mounting Procedure in

Chapter 6).

a Insert the tube of the CCD flange into the CCD port of the iHR.

b Make sure that the flange pin is aligned with the corresponding slot.

c Push the flange into the iHR until it stops.

The flange will touch the focus wheel.

iHR operation modes The iHR is extremely versatile, and can be customized to accommodate most applica-

tions. Selection of entrance and exit ports, gratings, and spectroscopic accessories al-

lows you to tailor the iHR specifically to your experiment. The spectrometer is control-

lable via the accompanying USB Spectrometer Control Software (CSW-USB-

SUPPORT-MONO) as well as with SynerJY®, SynerJY

® Software Development Kit,

or LabVIEW™ VIs.

Figure 2-1: Options for iHR entrance and exit ports

Spectrograph operation iHR units equipped to operate as spectrographs have at least one entrance slit and a

CCD flange. Options for a side entrance and side exit are also available. When taking

measurements with a spectrograph, the light to be analyzed is diffracted by the grating

and dispersed across the exit focal plane. An array detector such as a 2D CCD or linear

InGaAs array mounted at the exit is used to measure, or take a snapshot of, a range of

wavelengths. The grating position for a particular wavelength range is identified by the

center wavelength position. Data for a 2D detector may be recorded for each individual

pixel, as an image, or with the vertical pixels in each pixel column summed as a spec-

trum.


2-3

Monochromator operation iHR units equipped to operate as monochromators are configured with an entrance and

an exit slit. Options are available for a side exit slit and a side entrance slit. As the name

suggests, a monochromator is used to select a single wavelength of light. Here are four

typical applications for the iHR when configured as a monochromator:

Scanning

monochromator

The instrument can be used to measure the spectral output of

emitted light. The light can come from the sun, a laser diode, a

glow discharge, etc.

Tunable light

source

With a broadband light-source directly coupled to the entrance

slit, the iHR can provide a specific bandpass (range of wave-

lengths) at the exit. Changing the slit-width varies the spectral

bandpass.

Spectral filter The iHR can be used to select a particular bandpass of light, at

different user-selected wavelengths.

Fixed wavelength

measurement

The iHR, when set to a fixed wavelength and bandpass with a

single-channel detector coupled to the exit slit, can monitor var-

iations in an incoming light-signal, such as laser power.

Shutter Connector

Provides the user the option of connecting a shutter cable to the iHR via a

BNC connection.


2-6

Drive operation The iHR uses a precision worm-wheel gear drive mechanism under stepper-motor con-

trol which enables a user to drive precisely to a given wavelength or scan over a wave-

length range. The drive has a scan range of 0 nm to 1500 nm (for a 1200 gr/mm grat-

ing). The wavelength resolution of the drive is user selectable with a minimum step size

of 0.002 nm (with a 1200 gr/mm grating). The drive must be initialized upon powering

up. The initialization process precisely homes the drive mechanism, allowing for very

accurate and repeatable wavelength settings. The drive will hold position indefinitely as

long as the unit is powered up. If the system is powered down, there can be a small shift

in drive position.

The drive requires no backlash correction when moving in the direction of increasing

wavelength. We therefore recommend that users scan from lower to higher wave-

lengths. When the system is directed to move from a higher wavelength to a lower

wavelength, an automatic backlash correction is performed. Although the wavelength

accuracy and precision of the drive is unaffected, the backlash operation adds addition-

al time to the scan.

When moving from lower to higher wavelength, the drive scan speed is approximately

160 nm/s.


2-7

Triple-grating turret The iHR’s unique turret design allows it to maintain on-axis grating rotation during

scanning, delivering superior optical performance. The triple grating turret supports

three gratings; rotation is controlled by a single stepper-motor. Grating selection is

software-controlled. The operation for changing the grating is automated and takes ap-

proximately 30 seconds per grating.

Additional turrets may be purchased for the iHR320 and iHR550. The grating turret is

kinematically mounted, allowing the user to interchange turrets without the need for re-

alignment.


2-8

Configuring hardware If you received your copy of USB Spectrometer Utilities with your iHR, the software

has already been preconfigured to find and control your spectrometer. Once the spec-

trometer is identified, you must create a hardware configuration.

1 The USB Device Selection dialog box appears the first time the spectrometer is used, indicating that an exact hardware match has not been found. The window lists all of the compatible hardware, i.e., spectrometers, attached to

your computer. Highlight the hardware description that matches your iHR and

click the OK button. If more than one iHR is listed, chose the correct one based

on serial number.

2 To configure using USB Spectrometer Utilities software, select Start>Programs>Jobin Yvon>USBSpectrometerControl. The USB Spectrometer Control program allows you to initialize the instrument

as well as enter or change the wavelength position, mirror position, and slit-

widths. It also allows you to configure and change the filter-wheel position if

your iHR is equipped with an internal filter wheel. If using SynerJY® software,

see the Hardware Configuration topics located in the SynerJY Installation Guide

and Help file.

3 If adding a new spectrometer, select the appro-priate model from the Choose Spectrometer drop-down list and click the Initialize button; proceed to Step 10.

Note: The USB Spectrometer Control program only allows you to configure your spectrometer (and optional internal filter wheel), and is not equipped to create hardware configurations for detectors and accessories. You must use SynerJY® or the software provided with your detector to create a system con-figuration.

Calibrating the grating using USB Spectrometer Utili-ties

The grating calibration procedure serves as an initial check, before running an experi-

ment, that your system’s monochromator is properly calibrated and aligned.

1 Set up a calibration source, such as a mercury lamp, on the front entrance slit of the iHR.

2 Make sure your detector is mounted onto the exit port.

3 Select Start>Programs>Jobin Yvon>USBSpectrometerControl.

4 Set the slit-width to a minimum (~0.01 mm) and manually adjust the height limiter to 1 mm.

5 Set the Position to a reference wavelength value (such as a mercury line at 546.07 nm).

Note: You must use the software provided with your detector (in con-junction with USB Spectrometer Utilities) to collect a spectrum and de-termine the peak-pixel position corresponding to the reference peak. If using SynerJY®, see the Monochromator Calibration procedure of the Help file.

Figure 2-3: USB Mono Configuration program


2-16

6 Start the detector software, and follow the ap-propriate procedure for using a CCD or other ar-ray detector, or single-channel detector (PMT, DSS, or lock-in).

For multi-channel detectors (CCD, array)

a Set the x-axis to display in Pixels.

b Collect a spectrum and note the peak-pixel position corresponding to the

reference peak.

If the iHR is calibrated correctly, the peak-pixel position should be at the

center pixel of the CCD chip (for example, for a 1024-pixel-wide CCD

chip, the peak should appear at pixel 512).

c If the peak does not appear at the central pixel, change the center

wavelength position until the peak appears in the center of the chip.

d Record the observed position of the reference peak.

For single-channel detectors (PMT, DSS)

a Scan the grating in the region of the reference peak until the detector

reads the maximum signal.

b Record the observed position of the reference peak.

7 Select the Gratings tab, then select the Grating # you are calibrating from the drop-down list.

8 Click the Cali-brate Grat-ing… button. The WaveLengths window opens:

2-18

Changing gratings Introduction

Although a single-grating turret is included in the basic configuration for an iHR320 or

iHR550 spectrometer, you can order an additional grating turret (or turrets) at the time

of your initial spectrometer purchase. In order for the instrument to work properly and

correctly identify which turret is used, a separate firmware configuration and a separate

software configuration are both required for each grating turret. When changing from

one grating turret to another, you must load the appropriate firmware using the USB

Spectrometer Utilities software according to the procedure described below.

If you ordered a new iHR spectrometer with two grating turrets, the firmware for turret

1 is preloaded. If you purchased SynerJY® software, the firmware files for Turret 1 and

Turret 2 are burned onto the SynerJY® installation disk, in addition to the SynerJY

®

software configurations for Turret 1 and Turret 2.

There are two options for the iHR chassis:

With a circular port on top for changing gratings

Without a circular port for changing gratings.

If you have the option with no port, you will have to remove the top of the iHR case,

and take extra care not to touch or damage the internal optics.

Procedure

1 Insert the SynerJY disk into the DVD drive of your host computer.

2 Navigate to the Configurations folder on the

SynerJY® CD, and copy this folder to your host

computer’s desktop.

3 Install USB Spectrometer Utilities software ac-cording to the procedure on page 1-14 of this manual.

Caution: Never touch the face of any grating or optics. We recommend using lint-free cotton gloves or pow-der-free nitrile gloves.


2-19

4 Remove Turret 1, put it in the appropriate stor-age container, and replace it with Turret 2 as shown on pages 1-11 and 1-12 of this manual.

5 Open the USB SpectrometerConfig utility pro-gram. This program allows you to configure the spectrometer firmware to accept the

new gratings on Turret 2.

The JYUSBMonoConfig window appears:

6 Click the Load From… button.

The Open window appears:


2-20

7 Navigate to the Configurations folder on

your host computer’s desktop, where you see two files named Turret 1 FirmWare Turret 2 FirmWare

8 Choose the appropriate firmware file (in this

case Turret 2 FirmWare) and click the

Open button.

The Open window closes when the file loads.

9 Click the Write button, wait until the process is finished, then exit the program by clicking the red X in the upper right-hand corner.


2-21

10 Cycle the power on the iHR spectrometer.

11 Open SynerJY® software, and select the config-

uration for Turret 2. To load the configurations for Turret 1 and Turret 2, follow the instructions in

the SynerJY User’s Guide on page 17, but select Load Factory Configuration

in Step 4. Follow the prompts from the wizard, and select the correct SynerJY

configuration from the Configurations folder now on the host computer’s

desktop. A typical file name is ConfigTurret2.jyc.

12 To revert back to Turret 1, follow the same pro-cedure, but this time load the firmware for Turret 1, and select the SynerJY configuration for Tur-ret 1.


2-22

Slit adjustments Introduction

The slits of the iHR are fully automated. The width of the slit opening is controlled via

software. Having the proper slit-width is critical, for it directly affects the throughput

and wavelength resolution of the system. The slit-height also has an effect on resolution

and throughput, although to a lesser extent. Slit-height is manually adjusted by a height

limiter. See Chapter 5: System Performance for a more complete discussion of this top-

ic.

Automated slits The motorized, adjustable slits of the iHR are controlled remotely by computer. Slit

width is continuously adjustable from 0 mm to 2 mm or 0 mm to 7 mm (optional).

The height limiter controls the slit height

and has three settings: closed (0 mm), 1

mm, and open (15 mm). The detents of

the actuator are used as a guide for set-

ting the height limiter.

To open the height limiter completely,

pull the actuator out until it stops. For a 1

mm opening, push the actuator to the

first detent. To close the height limiter,

push the actuator in until it stops. Clos-

ing the height limiter provides a useful

way to block the input light in order to

take a dark-level reading.

Figure 2-11: Diagram of height-limiter and actuator

Height limiter set to 1 mm via actuator

Figure 2-10: Photograph of height-limiter


2-23

Operation with dual entrance and exit ports The iHR offers optional configurations with two entrance ports and two exit ports. The

exit ports can be equipped with either an automatic slit or a CCD flange. The addition

of a second exit port allows for mounting two different detectors. Spectral output is

switched from the front exit port to the side exit port via a computer-controlled swing

mirror. Similarly, equipping the system with dual entrance ports allows for the mount-

ing of two optical inputs which are also selectable via software.


2-24

CCD focus and rotation adjustment The iHR provides mechanisms for precise adjustment of the focus and rotational

alignment of a CCD camera. The adjustments consist of the CCD focus wheel, the fo-

cus-lock set screw, the CCD rotation adjustment screw, and the CCD flange lock.

1 Using a 2.5 mm Allen key, loosen the M3 cap head screw on the flange lock by turning the Al-len key counter-clockwise (#1 on the drawing). This screw is accessed through the flange lock hole in the side of the unit. Note

that when the flange lock is loose, the CCD flange is free to slide in and out of

the unit.

Figure 2-12: Attaching imaging flange MAI to the iHR

2 Using a 2 mm Allen key, remove the nine M3 button head screws which secure the top cover

of the unit, and remove the top cover (#2 on the drawing).

3 Using a 1.5 mm Allen key, loosen the focus lock set screw (M3) (#3 on the drawing).

4 Replace the top cover. The CCD focus wheel and rotation adjustment screw are free to move. The

CCD focus wheel, touching the inside face of the CCD flange, acts as a focus

stop for the CCD flange. The CCD rotation adjustment screw, touching the pin

on the CCD flange, acts as a rotation stop for the CCD flange.

5 To adjust the focus of the CCD camera, rotate the focus wheel with your fingers to drive the CCD flange out from the body. To bring the camera focus in, it is necessary to hold the camera against the

wheel while rotating the focus wheel.

6 To adjust the rotation of the CCD camera, insert a 1.5 mm Allen key into the hole in the side of the unit to engage the CCD rotation adjustment set screw. Turning the screw into the body (clockwise) pushes against the pin on the CCD

flange rotating the camera. To rotate in the opposite direction, turn the camera

against the rotation adjustment screw while turning the screw counter-

clockwise.

7 When the focus and rotation of the camera are properly set, tighten the flange lock to clamp the CCD flange in position.

8 The focus wheel may now be locked in its cur-rent position by removing the top cover and tightening the focus lock set screw. Unless the spectrometer is being moved from place to place, it is not mandatory

to lock the focus wheel. If it is necessary to remove the CCD for some reason,

simply loosen the flange lock set screw and remove the CCD. This Quick-Align

CCD adapter mechanism allows easy replacement of the CCD with minimal re-

alignment.

3 : System Performance Diffraction-grating groove density and sys-tem performance

The iHR320 and iHR550 have been designed to accommodate a wide range of inter-

changeable diffraction gratings. The choice of gratings provides the single most im-

portant means of tailoring the performance of the iHR to your specific application. The

grating tables below show how the groove density of the grating affects some important

performance characteristics.

Explanation of terms Spectral dis-persion

The spectral dispersion (also called reciprocal linear dispersion or lin-

ear dispersion) is a fundamental characteristic of the spectrograph, and

directly affects spectral resolution, coverage, and wavelength range.

These are typical values, for the spectral dispersion varies somewhat

depending on the operating wavelength. The values given in the table

above are given at 500 nm for a variety of gratings.

Array resolu-tion

The Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) wavelength-resolution of

a spectral line on a focal plane with 26 µm pixels.

Spectral cov-erage

The wavelength range covered by a 26.6 mm focal-plane array.

Spectral range

The range of the wavelength drive.

Estimating spectral dis-persion

If no other information is available, the spectral dispersion of a grating

with groove density XX may be estimated. Please note that this is only

an estimate, and its accuracy depends on the grating angles. Here is the

formula:

Estimated SD = SD(1200 gr/mm grating) × (1200/XX)


3-3

Slit Settings and bandpass The slit settings directly affect the spectral resolution and throughput of the system. Ta-

ble VI and Table VII show the relation of slit-width to spectral bandpass under the

specified conditions.

*For spectrograph configuration, the pixel size in the array detector limits the instru-

ment bandpass.

For entrance slit-widths above 50 µm, the bandpass (BP) is defined by the following

formula:

BP = Spectral Dispersion × Exit Slit-Width or Image of Entrance Slit-Width

(whichever is greater). Here, BP is equivalent to Estimated Spectral Resolution with

PMT or single-channel detector.

Estimated Spectral Resolution with CCD (or BP of spectrograph) = Spectral Dis-

persion × (pixel-width × 3 pixels) or Entrance Slit-Width (whichever is greater)

Slit-height also has an effect on bandpass, although this only becomes a factor when

operating at a bandpass < 1 nm. When better resolution or smaller bandpass is required,

and signal strength is not an issue, it is desirable to set the height-limiter to the 1 mm

setting.

For additional information regarding the relationship between slit-width and bandpass,

see section 2.12 of the online tutorial “The Optics of Spectroscopy” at

http://www.horiba.com/us/en/scientific/products/optics-tutorial/



3-5

Stray-light rejection The iHR has been designed to minimize any stray light reaching the focal plane. The

optical cavity includes blackened baffles and masks to trap unwanted light. In addition,

the optical design of the iHR is free from re-diffracted light (re-diffracted light is a

source of stray light that involves multiple reflections off the optical components them-

selves and is therefore very difficult to mask).

In addition to these design features, here are some measures that the user can take to

reduce stray light:

Keep the f/# of the illumination at or above (narrower cone angle) the f/# of the iHR

spectrograph (iHR320 f/# = 4.1, iHR550 f/# = 6.4).

Use holographic instead of ruled gratings.

Select a grating with a blaze angle optimized for your application.

Use an order-sorting filter to remove higher orders of unwanted light. For example,

when the grating is set to 600 nm, the second order of 300 nm light is also diffract-

ed at the same position. To remove this unwanted light, a 550 nm long-pass filter

can be used as an “order-sorting filter” to remove higher orders of light with wave-

lengths lower than 550 nm. The AFW-IHR internal filter, offered as an optional ac-

cessory for the iHR, is recommended for this purpose. See the online tutorial “The

Optics of Spectroscopy” for additional information

(http://www.horiba.com/us/en/scientific/products/optics-tutorial/).

4 : Troubleshooting Introduction

Following installation, some applications may require special attention for optimal sys-

tem performance (see also Chapter 3: System Performance). The following trouble-

shooting tips are provided to help you maximize experimental results by resolving any

potential problem. If you are not able to resolve the problem, please contact HORIBA

Scientific.

Problems Unit fails to turn on

If the unit fails to turn on, check that:

The power cord is connected to the power supply.

The power cord is plugged into a live outlet (mains).

The 5-pin DIN connector of the power supply is securely connected to the Power

Connector interface of the iHR.

Spectrometer does not respond to any commands If the spectrometer is powered on, but is not responding to any commands, check that:

All external cables are connected (see the “Connecting electrical interface cables”

section of Chapter 1).

The system’s software or firmware configuration matches the actual hardware con-

figuration. See the software documentation for more information on creating, edit-

ing, or loading a hardware configuration.

The USB port of your computer is working properly.

Spectrometer responds only to some commands If the spectrometer is powered on, and responds only to some commands, check that:

The failing command is valid. The parameters entered must be within limits for that

drive or function.

If you purchased software from HORIBA Scientific, see the provided software doc-

umentation to check that the device you want to control is configured properly.

If you are running your own software, stop your program and load the software

provided with the system to see if the device in question can be controlled.

Your computer meets the requirements specified by the software you are using to

operate the iHR.

Wavelength drive or accessories do not move If the spectrometer is powered on, but the wavelength drive and/or accessories are not

moving, check that:

iHR Fully Automated Imaging Spectrometer rev. G (28 Feb 2013) Troubleshooting

The grating is working properly: With the power off, remove the turret cover of the

iHR and gently move the turret partially through its range of motion. When the sys-

tem is powered, the device should return to its home position.

All external cables are connected (see the “Connecting electrical interface cables”

section of Chapter 1).

You pay particular attention to interface-setup connections and parameters if you

are using your own software program.

Background signal is very high, and background is re-duced when room lights are turned off

If the background signal appears very high, and is reduced when the room lights are

turned off, check that:

All covers are securely in place.

The area between the source or sample and the entrance slit is enclosed and light-

tight. Block the entrance slit as a test.

All openings and screw holes are plugged.

Noisy signal If the signal appears very noisy, check that:

There are no light leaks (see the section on “Stray-light rejection” in Chapter 5).

If turning off the spectrometer reduces noise, rearrange power connections to be

sure the spectrometer, source, and detector are tied to the same ground and, if pos-

sible, the same power circuits.

220F Fiber Adapters Introduction

The 220F fiber-optic adapter kit is designed for use with iHR, MicroHR, and FHR Se-

ries spectrometers, and contains 60 mm and 40 mm focal-length lenses. All kits include

a centering mount which allows lateral and vertical adjustment, plus rotation of fiber

position. When the adapter is mounted to an instrument slit, use the lenses to match the

fiber-optic aperture to the instrument aperture. This lets you use the entire fiber-optic

aperture and reduces stray light. These adapters were designed for use with optical fi-

ber-optics with N.A. = 0.22 (f/2.3).

Installation

1 Remove Fiber Adapter from packaging and in-spect for damage.

2 Open sliding cover and remove plastic bags containing tools, screws, and fiber-insert.

3 Choose the type of termination of your fiber-optics and attach it to the centering mount:

a For SMA termination, choose the SMA fiber-insert, place inside the

centering mount, and use the small screwdriver to secure by tightening four

set screws on the centering mount.

b For FC/PC termination, 220F-AFC is required (not included in the 220F

basic package). Choose the 220F-AFC, place inside the centering mount,

and use the small screwdriver to secure insert by tightening four set screws

on the centering mount.

c For ¼″-ferrule termination, first insert the end of the fiber-optic through the

back flange of the Fiber Adapter, then insert the ferrule into the fiber-insert.

Using a 0.05″ Allen key, secure the fiber by tightening the 4-40 set screw.

Place the fiber-insert inside the centering mount, and use the small

screwdriver to secure the insert by tightening four set screws on the

centering mount.

4 To mount the Fiber Adapter on a monochromator, place front on entrance slit, line up the mounting holes, and secure in position using two cap-head mounting screws Use M3 with 2.5 mm Allen key for iHR and metric spectrometers; 8-32 with

5/64″ Allen key for TRIAX. Figure 1 shows a 220F fiber adapter mounted on an

iHR320 spectrometer.

5 Make sure that the two plano-convex lenses are facing each other.

Fiber-optic alignment and optimization

1 Check that all detector high-voltage is off.

2 Remove the instrument cover and illuminate the fiber with a visible light source. Set the slit-width to its working width (no less than 100 µm).

3 Turn off the room lights.

4 Adjust the lens closest to the monochromator (Lens 2 – See Figure 3) so that the distance be-tween it and the slit is equal to its focal length. This distance is 60 mm for the 220F.

5 Adjust the lens clos-est to the fiber-optic and the light source (Lens 1) so that the distance between the fiber-optic tip and lens is equal to

Lens 2 = 60 mm

Lens 1 = 40 mm

its focal length. Continue to adjust this pair until the grating is fully illuminated. Test the grating illumination by placing a white screen (such as a piece of paper

or business card) in front of the grating. The full area of the grating should be il-

luminated. If the grating is not fully illuminated or if an area outside of the grat-

ing is illuminated, continue to adjust the lens.

6 Check to see that the light is centered by plac-ing the screen between the entrance slit and the first active optic. You should observe a circular, homogeneously illuminated area. If the image

appears disproportionate or is only partially displayed, then the light is not cen-

tered. Center the fiber using the lateral adjustment screws of the centering

mount, and continue to observe the screen until the proper image is obtained.

7 To verify that light is horizontally centered, re-duce the slit to its minimum width. If the top and bottom of the image appear symmetrical on the screen, then the light is approximately centered. If the image appears asymmetrical, then the light is not centered. Center the fi-

ber using the vertical adjustment screws of the centering mount, and continue to

observe until the proper image is obtained.

8 Replace the instrument cover.

9 Connect the fiber-optic to the experiment, and turn on the detector.

10 Optimize positions to get the best signal (any changes in position should be minimal).

11 Close the adapter housing and restore room lights. Typical distances d from the slit are: dLens2 = 60 mm, dLens1 =100 mm, dfiber =

140 mm.

Shutter Shutter-replacement procedure

1 Remove the top cover. Loosen and remove the nine M3 cap-head screws on the top cover.

2 Remove the baffle cover.

d If the unit has side entrance or exit fold mirrors, set the mirrors for front

entrance and exit operation via software.

The mirrors now lie against the sides of the housing.

e Remove the two M3 cap-head screws and two Phillips-head screws that

secure the cover.

f Now carefully lift the baffle cover out of the spectrometer housing.

You must rotate the cover slightly to do this.

3 Remove the old CCD shutter.

a If you are replacing the side entrance shutter, you must first command

the entrance fold mirror for side entrance operation.

This moves the mirror away from the side wall allowing access to the

shutter.

b Power the system down.

c Trace the shutter cable back to the electronic connector board.

Note the location of the shutter cable. You will need to know where to

plug in the new shutter.

d Unplug the shutter cable.

e Loosen the two M3 cap-head screws that secure the shutter assembly.

f Remove the shutter assembly.

4 Install the new shutter assembly.

a For a front-entrance

slit, place the new

front-entrance shutter

assembly on the front-

entrance slit.

Figure 6-21: Shutter mount for front en-

trance on iHR


6-20

b For a side-entrance

slit, place the new

slide-entrance shutter

assembly against the

side-entrance wall so

that the mounting

holes on the

mounting plate line

up with the tapped

holes on the side wall

of the housing.

c Install the two M3

cap-head screws in the new shutter assembly and tighten them to secure

the shutter in place.

d Dress the cable along the bottom of the unit.

e Plug the shutter connector into the appropriate location on the

electronics connector board.

If you are not sure of the correct location, there is a connector diagram

on the back of the baffle cover which indicates the correct location for

the shutter.

5 Replace the baffle cover.

6 Replace the top cover.

Internal Filter Wheel Filter-wheel operation

The iHR offers both internal and external filter wheel options. The internal filter wheel

option for the iHR holds up to six one-inch (25 mm) circular filters. Filter selection is

computer-controlled. The internal filter wheel and filters must be purchased with the

system. (An internal glass filter introduces a slight shift in focus, so the all of the filters

used must have the same thickness.)

HORIBA Scientific offers a standard set of cut-on filters. There are two options for fil-

ter-sets:

Table 6-2: AFW-IHR-UVVIS (nominal 3 mm filter-thickness) UV-S1 window J50311

LP-320nm J650500

LP-550nm J650501

Optional (to be ordered as separate line item)

LP-385nm LPF-CG385

LP-630nm J50449

LP-830nm J50451

LP-850nm J650514

1 micron long pass LPF-D1-0-3MM

Table 6-3: AFW-IHR-NIR (nominal 1 mm filter-thickness) UV-S1 window J50336

1 micron long pass LPF-D1-0

Optional (to be ordered as separate line item)

1.9 micron long pass LPF-D1-9




You may install additional filters of the correct thickness.

Filter installation

1 Remove the top cover. Loosen and remove the nine M3 cap-head screws on the top cover.

Note: The presence of internal filters can also produce a slight shift in wavelength. This wavelength error can be removed by following the wavelength-calibration procedure.


6-22

2 Remove the filter wheel from the filter-wheel motor shaft.

a If your system has

a CCD shutter on

the entrance slit,

you first need to

temporarily

remove the shutter

assembly from the

entrance slit to

make room for the

removal of the

filter wheel.

To do this, loosen

the two M3 set

screws on the top

of the shutter block

assembly and lift

the shutter

assembly up out of the way. You do not need to disconnect the shutter

cable to do this.

b The filter wheel is secured to the motor shaft with two M3 set screws.

Loosen these two set screws.

If necessary, gently rotate the filter wheel by hand to gain access to the

screw holes.

c Slide the filter wheel off of the shaft and remove it from the unit.

3 Install new filters.

a Locate the desired filter-hole

location and remove the retaining

ring from the hole.

b Insert the new filter into the hole and

press the retaining ring in behind it

to secure it in position.

To avoid touching the filter, use lens

tissue to press in the retaining ring.

Be sure the retaining ring in pressed

all the way in so that the filter is not

loose.

4 Replace the filter wheel back on the filter-wheel motor shaft.

Figure 6-23: Removing filter wheel

Figure 6-24: Schematic of filter wheel


6-23

a Slide the filter wheel back onto the motor shaft.

The beveled face of the wheel should face away from the entrance slit.

b Tighten the two M3 set screws to secure the filter wheel to the motor

shaft.

5 Replace the top cover.

Assembling LSH + ACH-C + SampleMax + iHR320

1 Insert the two 6-32 cap-head screws into the through-holes in the LSH-C and mount to two threaded holes on the flat side of ACH-H. Typically these two parts are shipped already

mounted together.

2 Remove the slit cover from the iHR entrance slit.

3 Using the M3 screws removed from the slit cov-er, mount the SampleMax ring (J350386) to the entrance slit.

4 Remove the SampleMax cover.

5 Place the four 8-32 mounting screws on the front interior wall of the SampleMax, and tighten them to attach to the SampleMax ring.

6 Place two pads under the rear two feet of the SampleMax, and adjust the height so the height of the SampleMax matches the spectrometer height.
