TriVista CRS

The TriVista CRS is the pinnacle of ultra-high-end Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy.
It combines the high-resolution bandpass capability of a DuoVista, with the unmatched spectral resolution, throughput, motorisation and imaging capabilities of S&Is MonoVista systems.
All TriVista systems are based on the successful Princeton Instruments SpectraPro HRS imaging monochromator series.

While the TriVista Basic is best suited for customers with previous knowledge in the field of spectroscopy, due to it providing a wide array of free degree usage, the CRS version combined with extensive motorisation and easy handling via our VistaControl software can help to significantly flatten the learning curve and make it almost as easy to handle as one of our MonoVista systems is.

The TriVista CRS System comes in three different sizes:

TR555CRS – triple 500mm Czerny-Turner monochromator setup with a double stage 500mm bandpass and as well as a 500mm imaging stage.

TR557CRS – double 500mm bandpass with a 750mm imaging stage

TR777CRS – double 750mm bandpass with a 750mm imaging stage, providing the highest possible resolution for additive and subtractive mode spectroscopy

Additive-Mode

In additive dispersion-mode each stage of the spectrometer-system disperses the spectrum of the incoming light. So, each stage adds an additional dispersion. The first monochromator stage disperses the spectral radiation into separate wavelength components, allowing a specific spectral window to enter the next stage. The same way as the second stage, the third stage adds a third dispersion to the spectrum which is finally coupled to a detector in the last stage with even a lower level of stray light.
The possible resolution is as high as for a single spectrometer with a focal length which is equal to the sum of the focal length of the 3 stages.

Subtractive-Mode

In subtractive mode, the first and the second stages of spectrometer work as a tunable bandpass filter to allow only the desired portion of spectrum to pass through and reducing stray light levels.

A polychromatic light enters the first stage through the entrance slit and is dispersed by the first grating. The intermediate Slit acts as a bandpass filter passing only the light between wavelengths λ1 and λ2. The grating in the second Stage recombines all the dispersed light and focuses it into the entrance slit of the third stage, producing again a polychromatic light limited to the spectral range between wavelengths λ1 and λ2.

Multiple configurations

A variety of configuration enables a wide field of applications. Up to four input ports and four output ports provide a wide range of different system setups.

The additive or subtractive arrangement of the double monochromator stage can be selected by software. Switching between additive and subtractive mode is done inside the first two Stages without any need of an additional optic.
So the Double Monochromator Stage can be used together with the last stage as a Triple system for Raman Spectroscopy.

Setup for Micro and Macro Raman Spectroscopy in Triple additive and subtractive Mode

It can also be used as an excitation stage for Fluorescence and Photoluminescence and the emission can be detected by the last stage of the system.

Setup for Photoluminescence & Fluorescence

Also, a bypass system is available to switch the entrance beam between the entrance slit of the first and third stage of the TriVista
