High-resolution, high-throughput spectrographThe Army Research Laboratory's Detonation Science and Modeling Branch is seeking to acquire one high-resolution, high-throughput spectrograph with specific advanced technical capabilities. The spectrograph must include an intensified camera with a continuous wavelength range from at least 180 to 1100 nanometers, enabling detection of specific carbon and oxygen spectral lines at 247 nm and 777 nm, respectively.
