AvaLight-XE Pulsed Xenon Light Source

Product information "AvaLight-XE Pulsed Xenon Light Source"

200-1000 nm; Total Average Optical Power 66 mW; Optical Power per Pulse 0.66-7.4 µJ; Pulse Duration 5 µs; Pulse Delay 6 µs; Max. Pulse Rate 100 Hz; Power Supply 12 VDC, 550 mA

Avantes’ AvaLight-XE is a pulsed xenon light source, perfect for ultraviolet applications like fluorescence. When connected to your AvaSpec spectrometer through the IC-DB26-2 cable (sold separately), the flashes are synchronized with the data collected by the spectrometer. The number of flashes per scan can be selected in AvaSoft.

With a special deep-ultraviolet (DUV) bulb, the AvaLight-XE can be used for deep-ultraviolet applications (below 200 nm). A special direct-attach cuvette holder is available for your fluorescence applications. For transmission measurements, the Avalight-XE can be used in conjunction with the CUV-ATT-DA which has an iris attenuator to limit the light output and to avoid saturation.
