This invention relates to a method for assembling and adjusting a holographic concave
grating monochromator, belonging to the field of
optical instrument assembly and adjustment technology. It solves the problems of existing
monochromator assembly and adjustment methods being cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, or having high theoretical requirements and low efficiency. The method involves leveling the holographic concave
grating monochromator and
laser; recording the initial spot height of the
laser; directing the
laser perpendicularly to the entrance slit of the monochromator to the center of the
grating; measuring and recording the heights of the 0th and ±1st order
diffraction spots; plotting the trajectories of the multi-order spectral spots; adjusting the
pitch and / or tilt angle of the grating according to the trajectory until the center of each
diffraction spot is collinear with the initial spot height; rotating the grating to allow the 0th order light to exit from the exit slit; using a right-angle fixture to adjust the grating shaft lever to be perpendicular to the drive screw and locking it; placing an external
light source at the entrance slit; observing the
clarity of the spectral lines at the exit slit using a
microscope; and adjusting the thickness of the shim at the exit slit to achieve precise conjugate matching between the entrance and exit slits. This invention is simple to operate, quick to assemble and adjust, and highly accurate.
