	Spectrometers and spectrometer components This page lists research equipment manufacturers in the field of the spectroscopic analysis of light, in particular (i) absorption and emission spectroscopy in the (UV)–visible–infrared range and (ii) for use with vibrational spectroscopy techniques (i.e., IR absorption and Raman). Note that all Raman systems are capable of recording laser-induced photoluminescence emission spectra, therefore the technique is not listed in the descriptions. Firstly, those manufacturers are listed that provide fully equipped research-grade systems. Secondly, there are some links to providers and distributors of lasers and filters. Note that only current brand and company names are listed. We feel that listing former brand names as well would make this page appear too complicated. For example, Nicolet spectrometers are now manufactured by Thermo Electron Co. Dilor S.A., a former manufacturer of Raman spectrometers, first merged with Jobin Yvon S.A. and became later part of the Horiba group (branch renamed to Jobin Yvon Horiba; now Horiba JY). *Disclaimer:* The list below contains links to external websites. We do not claim the compilation to be complete. Any corrections, suggestions, and further feedback are welcome.

	1. Spectrometers Generally speaking, spectral decomposition of electromagnetic radiation can be done in two ways. If the system employs monochromators (mostly diffraction or holographic gratings) it is called dispersive, which means the spectrum is recorded by scanning through the wavelengths by a mechanical rotation of the monochromator(s). To improve spectral resolution, two or three consequent monochromators may be used instead of just one; the major drawback of such systems is decreased light throughput. The second way of spectral decomposition is the so-called Fourier transform (FT) method, where an interferometer is used to record an interferogram and the spectrum is produced by its Fourier transform. Most Raman systems work in dispersive mode, while the standard in IR absorption spectroscopy is the FT method (therefore it is not specified in the list below).
