AvaLight-DHc Full Range Light Source

Product information "AvaLight-DHc Full Range Light Source"

Deuterium-Halogen; 200-2500 nm; Stability <1 mAU; Drift <0.25%/h; Optical Power 0.2, 7 µW; Power Supply 12 VDC, 450 mA

Get the best of two worlds with Avantes’ AvaLight-DHc full range light source. It has both a deuterium light source and a halogen light source, providing you with adequate light between 200 and 2500 nm for nearly all absorbance chemistry applications. Deuterium emits light between 200 and 550 nm, whereas halogen emits light of up to 2500 nm.

Coupling to the rest of your spectroscopy system is easy with the SMA connector. This light source is recommended in settings with large fiber cables or direct-attachment to a cuvette holder such as the CUV-DA, due to its relatively low output energy. The integrated TTL-shutter makes saving a dark measurement very simple in combination with AvaSoft (extra IC-DB26-2 needed).

Optionally, the AvaLight-DHc is available in a rack-mountable version, to be used in the 19” rack or the 9.5” desktop system. A direct-attach cuvette holder CUV-DA is available for fluorescence or absorbance measurements.

Transmission Probes
Wavelength range 200-2500 nm; Pressure Probe Head 10 bar @ 25°C; Connector Type SMA-905Transmission dip probes are designed for on-line and inline absorbance measurements in fluids. By dipping or permanently mounting the probe end into the fluid, absorbance can be measured. Explore our range of transmission dip probes below.Transmission ProbesTransmission dip probes are used for on-line and inline absorbance measurements in fluids. By dipping or permanently mounting the probe end into the fluid, absorbance can be measured. A standard SMA-905 connector couples light into a fiber bundle, typically consisting of six fibers (other configurations available upon request). The light is transmitted to the probe end, where it crosses a predetermined gap and is reflected against a diffuse white reflective material back onto the receiving read fiber, which is coupled to a spectrometer on the second leg of the probe. The read fiber is centrally placed within the illumination fiber bundle to provide optimal collection efficiency. Both bundles are housed in flexible stainless steel jacketing, and the probe tip is also made of stainless steel. At the mid-point of the assembly, a ferrule splits the fibers into their respective legs (illumination and read), which are terminated in SMA-905 connectors.Mini Transmission ProbesFor absorption measurements in miniaturized centrifuge tubes or vessels, Avantes offers the mini transmission dip probe. It features a miniaturized tip that is 130mm long and 3.2mm in diameter. The mini transmission dip probe has a fixed optical path length of 5 or 10 mm. It is available in three versions: one for UV/VIS (200-800 nm) measurements, one for VIS/NIR (350-2500 nm), and one for UV/VIS/NIR (250-2500 nm). For best results below 240 nm, solarization-resistant fiber (-SR) is recommended. The probe features Avantes ME, chrome-plated brass, and jacketing. Optionally, the probe can be configured with a longer stainless steel or Hastelloy® tip or other jacketing options (MS, BX, or PVC). It has two SMA connectors (FC/PC also available) for convenient coupling to the Avantes line of spectrometers and light sources.Mini Transmission Dip Probes with Variable Path LengthThis fiber-optic probe features a variable and adjustable path length for more flexibility during absorbance measurements in fluids. The gap between the fiber and the diffuser can be set anywhere between 0.25 and 10 mm. A standard SMA-905 connector couples light into a fiber bundle, typically consisting of six fibers (other configurations available upon request). The light is transmitted to the probe end, where it crosses the predetermined gap and is reflected against a diffuse white reflective material back onto the receiving read fiber, which is coupled to a spectrometer on the second leg of the probe.

DA-100 Variable Optical Attenuators
Hand-held Device; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM (PANDA); 350 to 2050 nm; Connector Type NTT-FC/PC, ST, SC, other; Attenuation IL to 40, 60 dB OZ Optics’ DA-100 series of compact, hand-held and rugged digital attenuators feature high resolution, high speed, high attenuation range and high power handling (blocking technique only). These CE approved attenuators have low insertion loss, low backreflection, low PDL and flat wavelength response. The DA-100 series of hand-held digital attenuators can be calibrated for up to four wavelengths, for C or L bands. Alternatively, the units can be calibrated for a continuous range. By using interpolation between the calibration wavelengths, the units are capable of providing accurate attenuation levels over a continuous, broad range of wavelengths. A computer interface allows users to access or remotely control the units through a PC. An optional, built-in rechargeable battery is available for field use, where AC power may not be readily accessible. OZ Optics provides digital attenuators that use either single mode, multi mode or polarization maintaining (PM) fiber. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining components and patchcords. However, OZ Optics can construct devices using other PM fiber structures. OZ Optics does carry some alternative fiber types in stock, so please contact AMS Technology for availability. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer supplied fibers to build devices. Key Features: CE Compliant, Hand-held Device Computer Interface (USB as Standard) Battery Option Available High Power Handling (up to 2 W) High Speed and Resolution- Wide Attenuation Range (from 350 to 2050 nm) Low PDL and Wavelength Dependency Low Insertion Loss and Backreflection Rugged and Compact Design Calibrated for Dual Wavelengths, (1300 to 1550 nm) or Calibrated for C and L Bands.

AvaLight-DH-CAL Calibrated Light Sources
200-1099 nm; Calibration Repeatability ±1.0%; Calibration Relative Uncertainty ±9%-±10%; Bulb Output 5, 80 µW cm-2 nm-1; Power Supply 100-240 VACCalibrating your spectrometer has never been easier: Avantes’ AvaLight-DH-CAL series are NIST-traceable, calibrated light sources to measure absolute spectral intensity with.For calibrations in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) range (200 to 1099 nm), the AvaLight-DH-CAL is the best solution. This source can be used with all AvaSpec spectrometers to calibrate for absolute spectral intensity. It is supplied with a built-in diffuser, a cosine corrector (CC-VIS/NIR) with SMA adapter and a CD-ROM containing the calibration files in ASCII format.Two calibration files are included: one for irradiance calibration over the full range (200 to 1099 nm) and one over the visible and near infrared range (350 to 1099 nm). For the first file, both the deuterium and the halogen bulb should be used during calibration. The second file is to be used with only the halogen light. The halogen-only spectrum provides a smoother black-body calibration spectrum for the longer wavelengths. The calibration files can be imported in the AvaSoft-IRRAD application software for intensity calibration, which turns your spectrometer into a spectroradiometer.For a more balanced spectrum across the 200 to 1100 nm range, Avantes offers the AvaLight-DH-BAL-CAL light source. For ultraviolet range calibration only (200 to 400 nm), the AvaLight-D-CAL is the right choice.The AvaLight-DH-CAL-ISPxx is a special version of these calibrated light sources, meant to facilitate coupling of the AvaSphere-xx-IRRAD integrating spheres (xx is 30, 50 or 80) to the light source. The AvaLight-DH-CAL, AvaLight-DH-BAL-CAL and AvaLight-D-BAL-CAL all include a power supply.Key Features:Flexible CalibrationUltraviolet (UV) and Visible (VIS) RangeBuilt-in Diffuser and Cosine CorrectorCalibration Use: Irradiance µW cm-2 nm-1Calibrated Surface: CC-UV/VIS or AvaSphereWavelength Range: 200 to 1099 nmCalibration Repeatability: ±1.0%Calibration Relative Uncertainty to NIST Standard: ±10% (200 to 240 nm), ±9% (240 to 350 nm), ±10% (350 to 400 nm), ±9.5% (400 to 1100 nm)Calibration Valid for 60 hWarm-up Time: ca. 30 minBulb Output: 80 µW cm-2 nm-1 (@215 nm), 5 µW cm-2 nm-1 (@800 nm)Power Supply: 100 to 240 VACDimensions: 315 x 165 x 140 mmApplications: Calibration of Spectrometers in UV or VIS Wavelength Range; Measuring Absolute Spectral IntensityPlease note that Avantes products are available from us only in Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
