Introduction
maxLIGHT pro high-efficiency spectrometer
flat-field grazing-incidence spectrometer
highest efficiency due to proprietary no-slit design
wavelength range from 1 to 200 nm
integrated beamprofiler
modular, turn-key design
maxLIGHT offers maximum light collection and the highest efficiency in the industry due to its no-slit design. Aberration-corrected flat-field wavelength coverage spans 1nm to 200nm with extensive spectral bandwidths, e. g. 5-80nm per individual grating.
The modular design matches a variety of experimental geometries and configurations. maxLIGHT features an integrated slit holder and filter insertion unit, as well as a motorized grating positioning.
Detector options include both XUV CCDs for highest resolution and dynamic range, and MCP/CMOS detectors for broadest wavelength coverage and gated / intensified detection. Please contact us to discuss your needs.
Customized derivatives of our maxLIGHT spectrometer are also available.
No-slit design
The proprietary spectrometer design by HP spectroscopy uses direct source imaging. Consequently, a narrow entrance slit is not needed and light collection is maximized. Comparing with traditional spectrometer architectures, a factor of 20 more light reaches the spectrometer detector. The architecture also greatly increases day-to-day operation robustness.
Results
| HHG characterization by maxLIGHT XUV (left panel) in a coincidence spectroscopy application using attosecond XUV pulses. High-order harmonics originate from single photon transitions (blue arrows), whereas two-photon transitions with XUV and IR light result in sidebands in the photoelectron spectrum (right panel).

| HHG spectrum measured by maxLIGHT XUV (right panel) and spectrum of the fundamental 25fs-pulses, broadened in a kagome-PCF (left panel). The effect of soliton self-frequency blue-shifting on HHG is clearly visible with increasing pump energy.

| Measurement demonstrating the improved signal strength. With the same signal strength, the resolution of maxLIGHT (solid lines) is significantly higher compared with a standard spectrometer (dotted lines). For equivalent resolution, standard technology would require a narrow slit setting and thus a significant degradation in signal strength.

| HHG spectrum in the cut-off region at 150kHz repetition rate measured with maxLIGHT XUV. The variation of the CEP shows disappearance of modulations for some CEP settings, indicating an isolated attosecond pulse.

| Measurement demonstrating the resolving power of maxLIGHT. The shown high harmonic spectrum is generated by the interaction of a single femtosecond laser pulse with a solid target and subsequent spectral filtering. The substructure inherent to the generation process is clearly resolved by the XUV spectrometer.
