The graph shows typical measurement results and the fitted dispersion curve for a K5 glass prism over the full glass transmission range that can be measured. A fit module for the Sellmeier coefficients is included in the software, so that refractive index values can be estimated from measured ones at different wavelengths.
Example measurement on a K5 glass prism and a
Sellmeier fit to the data
The below plot shows the comparison of SpectroMaster® results and measurement data from an independent institute in the wavelength range 360...1100 nm.
Measurement results for an S-BAL2 sample prism
The low temperature coefficient of this S-BAL2 glass allows highly accurate measurements even in standard laboratory environment which is reflected by the residuals < +/- 2× 10-6 compared to the reference values over the full measurement range.
Traceability of the SpectroMaster® measurement results is guaranteed by the careful final inspection using several PTB certified reference prisms available at TRIOPTICS. Each SpectroMaster® is delivered with comprehensive certificates showing its traceable measurement results within the specification. This certification is repeated during installation at customer's site. On request, the instrument can be delivered with a PTB certified master sample for regular checks by the customer. The below measurement report demonstrates exemplarily the excellent instrument accuracy with SpectroMaster® reproducing the PTB results within <1×10-6. Unfortunately, all national laboratories certify only in a limited visual range.
