Les composés élués de la colonne sont dirigés dans un plasma hélium ou argon excité par microonde. Le spectre atomique produit par le soluté est analysé par un monochromateur réglé sur la longueur d'onde de l'élément recherché. Le signal délivré par le photomultiplicateur situé à la sortie du monochromateur est amplifié puis enregistré. À la différence d'un photomètre de flamme, de détecteur met en œuvre des énergies plus importantes qui fragmentent les molécules. Les fragments sont excités, leur spectre d'émission est caractéristique de l'élément. 3, record 1, French, - monochromateur

Sur certains canaux, on place, immédiatement en sortie, un dispositif de sélection de l'énergie des neutrons. Il s'agit soit d'un «monochromateur» cristallin qui va effectuer une réflexion sélective du faisceau (dans le plan horizontal dit plan expérimental), soit plus rarement d'un dispositif mécanique tournant autour d'un axe orthogonal au faisceau («chopper» de Fermi). Les monochromateurs cristallins sont des monocristaux souvent en graphite pyrolitique, plus rarement en germanium, silicium ou cuivre écroui. Parfois, on utilise la technique particulière, rigide mais bon marché. 1, record 5, French, - monochromateur%20cristallin

La source lumineuse qui alimente le monochromateur d'excitation est une lampe de xénon pulsée. Le réseau dispersif comporte 1440 lignes par mm. Un moteur contrôle pas-à-pas l'angle du réseau, et détermine la longueur d'onde centrale (entre 200-800 nm) qui sort du monochromateur d'excitation. À part d'une petite fraction réfléchie au photomultiplicateur de référence, l'ensemble du rayon (couvrant une gamme spectrale de SPMlt [ou] 2 à 15 nm selon la largeur des fentes) est focalisé sur l'échantillon. La réponse de ce détecteur est corrigée pour son efficacité avec une courbe de calibration interne afin de savoir l'intensité du rayon incident. Le monochromateur d'excitation permet d'obtenir le spectre d'absorption ou d'excitation de la substance étudiée. 1, record 10, French, - monochromateur%20d%26rsquo%3Bexcitation
