Spectrometer with wave gear device to reduce rotation of motor for extracting monochromatic light of specific wavelength

摘要

A spectrometer has a motor, a reduction means for employing a wave gear device to reduce the rotation of the motor, a wavelength dispersion device for being driven by rotation that was reduced by the reduction means, and a control means for controlling the operation of the motor. When changing the wavelength of light that is extracted from the spectrometer, the control means controls the motor so that an input shaft of the wave gear device is rotated by 180° or more before the input shaft is positioned at an angular position that corresponds to the target wavelength.
