Free-space LED Light Sources
AMS carries a broad range of free-space LED light sources, including LED spotlights with output powers of up to 450 mW or up to 2 W, high-power and super-high power collimated LED light sources, also for deep-UV. For multi-wavelength applications, wavelength-switchable LED light sources allow sequential wavelength changing, while dedicated multi-wavelength beam combiners, available as optomechanical building blocks or pre-configured with collimated LED light sources provide multiple wavelengths in a common light beam.
Fiber-coupled LED Light Sources
High-power fiber-coupled LED light sources employ proprietary optics to couple the optical output into a fiber through a standard SMA fiber adapter port, thus achieving maximum optical output power. Filtered versions allow users to insert an optical filter into the light source to tailor the output spectrum and intensity to their needs.
Multi-wavelength LED and SLED Light Sources
For multi-wavelength applications, fiber-coupled LED light sources coherently combine up to eight LEDs into a single multi mode fiber with highest efficiency. Compared to halogen light sources, the output spectrum of our full-spectrum LED light sources with SMA connector shows a significantly higher intensity at the blue/UV end.

Definition
Many optical test and measurement procedures – such as the detection of spectral absorption, transmission or reflection – require defined light sources that emit light in a very narrow wavelength range or in the contrary cover well-defined broader ranges of the spectrum. With the help of calibrated light sources with a constant output spectrum, users can, for example, wavelength-calibrate their spectrometers.
Light sources are characterized mainly by their wavelength and optical output power – additionally, for fiber coupled sources it is important to specify into which fiber type the light is coupled.
While laser light sources are particularly suitable for very narrow-band applications, halogen, LED or SLED lamps provide a broader spectrum. Deuterium and pulsed xenon lamps emit light in the ultraviolet range.
Depending on the requirements of the application, point or collimated light sources are more suitable. Free-space light sources are needed for applications such as microscopy or spectroscopy in larger volumes, while fiber- and lightguide-coupled light sources allow optimal light guidance and focusing even onto tiny measurement objects.
In fiber-optic communication networks, light sources together with optical power meters form a solution for measuring essential parameters such as attenuation or transmission losses. Optical fault locators are light sources that usually emit laser light in the visible (red) range, which is reflected or strongly attenuated at defect points of an optical fiber or a fiber connection and exits the fiber to the outside – thus such defects can be quickly visually detected and localized.

In need of more power than the AvaLight-DHc? The AvaLight-DH-S is Avantes’ most powerful deuterium-halogen source. Like the DHc, the DH-S is also a combined deuterium and halogen light source, capable of transmitting light in the UV/VIS/NIR-range, but has 35 times more halogen output and up to 300 times more deuterium power.
The source has a prominent 656 nm deuterium peak which can limit dynamic range (see Avalight-DH-S-BAL as an alternative). It includes a focusing lens assembly, to fully utilize the possibilities and size of your fiber.
The AvaLight-D-S is a deuterium light source only, making it a great option for measurements in the UV range, 190 to 400 nm. The AvaLight-D-S-DUV version starts even lower at 175 nm, for your deep-UV experiments. This version also offers twice the intensity at 200 nm.
The output of the AvaLight-D(H)-S light source is optimized for fibers or bundles up to 600 µm. For larger fibers, the focal point is manually adjustable to optimize the light coupling into your fiber.

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 VAC
Calibrating 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.

AvaLight-DH-S-BAL Deuterium-Halogen Light Source
Balanced Power; 200-2500 nm; Drift <±0.1, <±0.5%/h; Optical Power 6-448 µW; Halogen Lamp Colour Temperature 3,000 K; Power Supply 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Avantes’ AvaLight-DH-S is a powerful light source, but, like any unbalanced deuterium-halogen source, it does have a very dominant alpha peak at 656 nm. This is why Avantes developed the DH-S-BAL, in which this peak is drastically reduced by a dichroic filter. This means less power, but an increase in the dynamic range of a factor 20.
The light source delivers a continuous spectrum with high efficiency. The highest stability is in the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) range, from 200 to 2500 nm. An integrated TTL-shutter and filter holder for filters of up to 50 x 50 x 5.0 mm are included. The filter holder can be easily replaced by a direct-attach cuvette holder CUV-DA-DHS, useful for fluorescence or absorbance measurements.
The TTL-shutter can be controlled from any AvaSpec spectrometer, which means the auto-save-dark option in AvaSoft software can be used. Connection to the fiber is done through an SMA-905 connector, which features an adjustable focusing lens assembly. This ensures you have the maximum possible power into your fiber. For all deuterium light sources, solarization resistant fibers (-SR) are recommended. The output of the AvaLight-DH-S-BAL is optimized for fibers or bundles up to 1500 µm.

AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini Halogen Light Source
Halogen; 360-2500 nm; Stability <0.1%/°C; Colour Temperature 2,700-3,000 K; Optical Power 0.5-14 mW; Power Supply 12 VDC, 2.08 A
From visible light to near infrared, that’s where Avantes’ AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini halogen light source works best. It’s a compact, stabilized halogen light source with adjustable focusing of the fiber connection, maximizing output power at the desired wavelength. The light source also has adjustable output power to provide extra power or longer bulb life.
A filter-slot mounted on the front of the AvaLight-HAL-Mini accepts 1” round or 2” x 2” square filters, to block specific ranges of wavelengths or instantly lower the intensity. The adjustable focus on the AvaLight-HAL-Mini helps you getting the most out of your light source: it makes sure all possible power is transmitted through your optical fiber. Bulb replacement is easy and can be done in a matter of minutes.
The lamp’s optical output can be controlled through a dongle at the rear or from your computer. At low setting, the lamp has a colour temperature of 2,700 K but provides over 13,000 hours of lifetime. The standard or medium setting changes the colour temperature to 2,850 K and provides 50% more power with a bulb lifetime of 4,000 hours. The high-power setting gives a colour temperature of 3,000 K, doubles power compared to the long-life setting and gives you up to 1,000 hours of lifetime.
The AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini features an internal TTL-shutter, controllable from your AvaSpec spectrometer. This gives you the ability to use the auto-save dark option in AvaSoft spectroscopy software. Optionally a combined direct-attach cuvette holder and attenuator is available(CUV-ATT-DA-HAL). for attenuation one can use the Inline Filter Holder (FH-INL) or the Inline attenuator (ATT-INL).

Deep UV LCS-Series Collimated LED Light Sources
Deep UV; 265-340 nm; 2.03-3.6 W; Iop 350-600 mA; Vop 4.3-6.3 V; Typ. Output Power 15-35 mW
Mightex’s deep UV LCS-Series of collimated LED light sources cover the wavelength range between 240 nm and 340 nm and employ a high-NA (numerical aperture) aspherical collimating lens for precision collimation and high light throughput.
A LED collimator consists of a collimating lens and a LED emitter. The LED emitter is placed at the focal plane of the collimating lens. The collimating lens thus images the LED emitter into infinity.
LED collimators can be used as the light source in an illumination system. For example, LED collimators can replace the standard lamp assembly in a microscope to provide stable, intense, and fast-modulated illumination. Typically, the rest of the illumination optics will image the LED emitter onto the pupil of the imaging optics whereas the lens aperture on the collimator where intensity is uniform will be projected onto the object. In other illumination applications, similar arrangement should be made to produce uniform and efficient illumination.
The LED emitters of the deep UV LCS-Series collimated LED light sources are mounted directly onto the metal base of the collimator which also features an integrated heat sink. This configuration minimizes thermal resistance between the LED emitter and the heat sink resulting in better heat dissipation. The collimating lens can be adjusted if needed for precise collimation. A locking ring fixes the lens position after adjustment. The collimators have been pre-adjusted in the factory.
The LED collimators include a 1.5-meter cable with two bare-wire terminals at the end for universal LED controllers. The light sources can be driven by Mightex LED controllers or other LED controllers and current sources.
WARNING: Due to low current ratings, certain Type-D deep UV LCS-Series collimated LEDs should only be controlled using the LED controllers SLA-0100-2 or SLC-FAxxIn addition to using the correct LED controllers listed above, an appropriate current range must be set according to the LED’s current rating, in order to properly protect the highly delicate deep UV LED. LED damage due to over-driving is not covered by Mightex’s product warranty.

Filtered LED Module; 240-940 nm; Typical Radiant Flux 0.008-6 mW; Iop 0.025-1 A; Vop 2.1-10 V
Mightex’s FFC-Series of filtered high-power fiber-coupled LED light sources employ the latest high-power LED technologies and a proprietary coupling optics to achieve maximum optical output power. The series’ optical output is coupled into a fiber through a standard SMA fiber adapter port (SMA fiber patchcords are sold separately).
Users may insert an optical filter into the light source to tailor the light source’s output spectrum and intensity to their needs. Example applications include fluorescence excitation with a bandpass filter, wavelength selection from a white LED, attenuating intensity with a neutral density filter, and polarized output with a polarizer.
