Abstract

Vendor-supplied calibration curves for fixed-grating, fixed-detector-array portable spectrometers typically provide wavelength accuracies of about ±1 pixel on the array. Independent calibration using atomic lamp spectra is hampered by the sparsity of available lines: interpolation between atomic lines typically leads, again, to pixel-width errors or greater. We provide a technique that combines information from sparse atomic line spectra with densely populated peaks from the transmission spectrum of an air-spaced etalon to generate calibration curves capable of ~1/10th pixel accuracies across entire detector arrays. Subsequent transmission spectra through solid etalons of well-characterized glass samples validate the calibration procedure.
