Spectral Modules

Spectral Modules Headwall Photonics is a leading supplier of high performance spectral modules for OEM photonic applications. Our compact modules are cost-effective, prealigned optical systems that are easily integrated into systems to save development costs and time to market. Our products include single- and dual-beam spectrographs. Our Hyperspectral VS15 is an unparalleled imaging spectrograph with extremely high spectral/spatial resolution. Headwall Photonics welcomes the opportunity to design solutions to meet customer requirements.

All spectral modules are equipped with high quality, low stray light original diffraction gratings manufactured by Headwall Photonics, Inc.

Diode-Array Spectrographs

MD5 Dual Beam Spectrograph
A prealigned optical system that provides high throughput (f/2) and low stray light, as it disperses sample and reference spectra onto a single photodiode array, providing a self-compensating reference beam. A rugged and compact module designed for industrial applications, the MD5 has no moving parts and provides superb optical stability at a very attractive price.

MS10/HR High Performance Single-Beam Spectrograph
A high performance version of our versatile MS10 Spectrograph. Over 10 gratings are available for the MS10/HR which permit resolutions as high as 0.5nm to be achieved, while offering very low stray light performance.
