XE-1 Xenon
Calibration Light Source
Installation and Operation Instructions
Description
The XE-1 Xenon Calibration Source is a wavelength calibration source for UV-VIS-Shortwave NIR
spectrophotometric systems. The XE-1 produces Xenon lines from 916-1984 nm, and is an ideal lamp
to use when performing fast, accurate spectrometer wavelength calibrations.
The XE-1 features an SMA 905 Connector for interfacing with our optical fibers. It operates with a 12
VDC power supply (included with the unit) or 9V battery (not included).
The following sections detail the features of the XE-1 Xenon Calibration Light Sources.

Note
The XE-1 is NOT designed to operate as an excitation source in your experiments.
Spectral lines above 922 nm are not easily detectable by Ocean Optics spectrometers.
