AvaLight-HAL-CAL-Mini Calibrated Light Sources

Product information "AvaLight-HAL-CAL-Mini Calibrated Light Sources"

350-2500 nm; Calibration Repeatability ±0.5%; Calibration Relative Uncertainty ±3.5%, ±5.0%; Bulb Output 170 µW cm-2 nm-1; Power Supply 12 VDC, 2.08 A

Calibrating your spectrometer has never been easier: Avantes’ AvaLight-HAL-CAL-Mini series are NIST-traceable, calibrated light sources to measure absolute spectral intensity with.

AvaLight-HAL-CAL-Mini series are compact, affordable light sources. The devices are calibrated for the visible (VIS) range (350 to 1095 nm). Optionally, an extended calibration for the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range (1100 to 2500 nm) can be ordered. AvaLight-HAL-CAL light sources have a built-in diffuser, a cosine corrector with SMA adapter and come with a calibration file in ASCII format. Calibration can be done using the AvaSoft software.

The AvaLight-HAL-CAL-ISPxx-Mini is a special version of the Avalight-HAL-CAL-Mini, which enables coupling any of Avantes’ AvaSphere-xx-IRRAD integrating spheres (xx = 30, 50 or 80) to the light source for calibration. This source is supplied with a special bottom plate to stabilize the AvaSphere.

Avalight-HAL-CAL-Mini and Avalight-HAL-CAL-ISPxx-Mini calibrated light sources include a power supply.
