Optical device that transmits a mechanically selectable narrow band of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation chosen from a wider range of wavelengths available at the input.
Note:
To spatially separate the wavelengths, a monochromator can use either the phenomenon of optical dispersion in a prism, or that of
