We show how a low cost spectrometer, based on the use of inexpensive diffraction transmission gratings coupled with a commercial digital photo camera or a cellphone, can be assembled and employed to obtain quantitative spectra of different sources. In particular, we discuss its use in studying the spectra of fluorescent colored ink, used in highlighting pens, for which the transmission band and the emission peaks are measured and related to the ink color.

Abstract

We show how a low cost spectrometer, based on the use of inexpensive diffraction transmission gratings coupled with a commercial digital photo camera or a cellphone, can be assembled and employed to obtain quantitative spectra of different sources. In particular, we discuss its use in studying the spectra of fluorescent colored ink, used in highlighting pens, for which the transmission band and the emission peaks are measured and related to the ink color.
