2 FERGIE DATASHEET Highlights 2

3 FERGIE FERGIE is an integrated, aberration-free spectrograph with a built-in, lownoise, cooled detector. FERGIE has its own specially designed ecosystem of accessories, including elegant light-coupling CUBES, laser sources, fiberoptics, and beautifully designed software. FERGIE DATASHEET Highlights Aberration-Free Design No coma, no astigmatism at all wavelengths. Comparison of spectral data from the optical design of a standard 3 mm Czerny Turner spectrometer and FERGIE. Mercury spectral lines to show aberration-free optical performance of FERGIE. FERGIE Ecosystem FERGIE is much more than a spectrograph. It s meticulously engineered ecosystem includes CUBEs, lasers, probes, fiberoptics and more... FERGIE Software While FERGIE successfully distinguishes itself with innovative hardware, the beautifully designed software orchestrates all inner workings and makes it a pleasure to use the system day in and day out! 3

4 FERGIE DATASHEET The FERGIE compact, imaging spectrograph addresses many spectral ranges lab notebook! A plurality of complex experiments for a wide range of Raman spectrum experiment that used to take hours to set up now can be completed in fewer than 9 seconds. FERGIE compares well with longer focal length, physically larger spectrographs spectroscopy, with wavelength coverage ranges from 2-11 nm. For out of the box experience, FERGIE comes fully acclaimed LightField package.

7 FERGIE DATASHEET CUBES & Accessories FERGIE CUBES With FERGIE CUBES, interfacing is a cinch! If you ve ever spent more time digging through cabinets than conducting your actual experiment, you ll definitely appreciate these CUBES. Designed for free space and fiber coupling Pre-aligned (stays aligned as more CUBES are added) Easy to attach using only a screwdriver Compatible with Thorlabs 3 mm cage system The following is an initial list of CUBES available with FERGIE. Be sure to check out as more CUBES will be added in the future. CUBE 1: Focusing CUBE 2: 785 nm Raman Filter CUBE 3: Sample Chamber Houses an f/4 achromatic doublet lens with precision focusing and translation adjustment to bring light into FERGIE on-axis every time. Contains a pre-aligned Princeton Instruments dichroic beam splitter (127 cm -1 edge) with a matching OD 6 edge filter and a built-in laser line filter. Raman is now turnkey! A four-port, two-lens sample chamber designed to house a 12.5 mm cuvette makes measuring liquid-phase samples a breeze. Ideal for Raman, absorbance, and fluorescence spectroscopy. CUBE 4: Beam Splitter CUBE 5: Filter Contains a precision-aligned 5:5, 7:3, or 9:1 beam splitter cube. Ideal for introducing a witness camera, additional laser line, or absorbance reference line to the optical path. No alignment is necessary. Just connect! Contains an indexing linear slide capable of housing four 1/2 inch diameter filters. Ideal for inserting order-sorting or band-limiting filters into your optical design. FERGIE Accessories FERGIE is compatible with a multitude of lasers, fiberoptics, probes and calibration light sources. With optional wavelength (Hg/Ne-Ar) and intensity (QTH) calibration light sources, it s never been easier to acquire accurate and repeatable spectral data. Our new FERGIE software automates the entire calibration procedure to achieve peer-review worthy data within a matter of minutes. Say goodbye to manual, post-acquisition data corrections forever!
