Large format gratings astronomical spectrographs
A good partner helps you make the most of every photon. Just as every star is unique, so are the needs of every spectroscopic telescope. At Wasatch, we work with you from the earliest stages of your project, drawing on our multiple design technologies and experience to create high throughput medium to large format VPH transmission gratings customized to your astronomical spectrograph. Our robust, durable gratings provide the broadband operation and tunability you need for maximum flexibility, and years of performance you can depend on.
Trusted gratings partner to the astronomical spectrograph community.
VPH gratings made from dichromated gelatin (DCG) have been key components in astronomical spectrographs for decades. Wasatch Photonics is committed to maximizing light throughput and quality through our VPH DCG gratings as we have done in many of the world’s largest telescopes.
VPH gratings can be optimized to work at wavelengths ranging from 300 nm up to 2500 nm with spatial frequencies from 150 l/mm to 6000 l/mm. By varying the angle of incidence of a VPH grating, the spectral response can often be broadened considerably using superblazing.
Misty Johnson is responsible for taking care of our grating customers at the Logan, Utah, facility. She has been a member of the Wasatch Photonics team since 2009. By understanding her customers’ needs and goals, as well as the current grating market, Misty is able to provide a superior level of customer support. As Account Manager, she acts as a liaison between customers and Wasatch Photonics’ manufacturing department making sure that the lines of communication are always open.
Customer support is an integral part of Wasatch Photonics commitment to customers. Whether you are in the market to purchase a single grating, inquiring as a distributor, or purchasing large volume, Misty will guide you seamlessly through the custom design process. Misty strives to build trust and strong long term relationships with Wasatch Photonics customers. She brings 20 years’ experience as customer support manager from a number of manufacturing and service companies.
