VIPA spectrometer, based on the strong dispersion capability of the virtually imaged phased array (VIPA), is a new type of high-performance spectral measurement technology, which has the advantages of wide spectral coverage, high time resolution, and highspectral resolution. Based on a quartz VIPA in 60 GHz free spectral region (FSR), a VIPA spectrometer for spectrum measurement in the red light band is developed, and the output spectrum of a 633 nm multi-mode laser is measured. At a time resolution of 100 μs, the output spectrum with a single measurement of 3.1 nm spectral width and 2.0 pm (1.5 GHz) high spectral resolution is obtained. And the continuous operation for 4 h shows that the spectral drift is less than 0.5 pm. The performance of the spectrometer can be further improved by using diffraction grating scanning device, area CCD with shorter exposure speed, and VIPA with larger FSR.
