About
Designed for experiments where compactness, simplicity and cost efficiency are key, the SpectroDry provides reliable cryogenic performance in a closed-cycle platform based on a Gifford-McMahon cryocooler.

The system is available in two user-section configurations: with optical access for spectroscopy, or without optical access with a slim insert geometry for integration between the pole pieces of an external electromagnet.

SpectroDry cryostat technical scheme
Two user-section configurations, one common cryostat platform.

Both versions share the same upper GM cryostat body, including the cryocooler, DC wiring, temperature-control interfaces and optional feedthroughs. The lower section is customized according to the experimental use case.

1

Optical-access version

Lower user section with lateral optical windows for spectroscopy and optical measurements. A wide choice of window materials is available depending on wavelength range and experimental
constraints.

2

Slim magnet-insert version

Narrow lower user section designed to fit between electromagnet pole pieces for transport and
magneto-transport measurements under external magnetic field.

Optical-access configuration

The optical-access version includes lateral optical windows around the sample space and is designed for spectroscopy and optical measurements at cryogenic temperatures.

A wide range of window materials can be selected depending on the required wavelength range, optical transmission and experimental environment.

Cabling

Additional options available on request: low working distance (LWD), optical fiber feedthroughs,
RF cabling up to 20 GHz, HV wiring, custom sample holders.

Limitations

The SpectroDry is not optimized for ultra-low vibration performance. As with most Gifford-McMahon-based systems, vibration levels are higher than on dedicated low-vibration optical platforms such as the OptiDry range. It is therefore not the preferred solution for vibration-sensitive experiments requiring nanometer-scale mechanical stability. Its strengths are compactness, fast cooldown, cost efficiency and robust cryogenic performance.
