2.4 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The applications for the Cornerstone 260 monochromator are practically limitless. Here we
present one example: a quantum efficiency measurement system using an optically chopped light
source used with a lock-in digital amplifier to extract small signal levels from background radiation.
All components shown are available from Oriel Instruments.
