Light Sources
Ocean Optics light sources provide illumination and excitation in the UV, VIS or Shortwave NIR range for
absorbance, reflection and fluorescence measurements; discrete line spectra for wavelength calibrations; and
calibrated absolute intensity standards for irradiance measurements. Wall transformers are supplied for
laboratory use. Most of the light sources are powered by +12 VDC to facilitate their use in the field. Note that
though some light sources emit energy <200 nm, or emit energy to 2
µ
m, their use with Ocean Optics
spectrometers is limited by our detector’s responsivity (200-1100 nm).
" The MINI-D2T M INIATURE D EUTERIUM T UNGSTEN L IGHT
S OURCE is optimized for the UV. It produces continuous
spectral output from ~200-850 nm.
" The D-1000 D EUTERIUM L IGHT S OURCE is a high-output,
fiber optic light source optimized for the UV. It produces
intense, continuous spectral output from ~200-400 nm.
" The DT-1000 D EUTERIUM T UNGSTEN H ALOGEN L IGHT
S OURCE combines a UV and VIS/NIR light source in a single
optical path. It's range is from ~200-1100 nm.
" The LS-1 T UNGSTEN H ALOGEN
L IGHT S OURCE is a versatile source for the VIS-Shortwave NIR (360 nm-2
µ
m).
It offers high color temperature, a long life and a built-in filter slot for color-
correcting and other uses.
" The PX-2 P ULSED X ENON L AMP (~225-700 nm) is a 220 Hz short-arc flashlamp.
It produces high-energy pulses of brief duration and has two trigger modes.
" The LS-450 B LUE LED P ULSED L IGHT S OURCE is a compact, low-cost light-
emitting diode that produces pulsed or continuous spectral output at 470 nm to
provide excitation for fluorescence measurements. The R-LS-450 is the rack
mount version of the LS-450 and has many jumper-control features.
" The LS-1-CAL C ALIBRATED L IGHT S OURCE is a NIST-traceable calibrated
light source for the VIS-
Shortwave NIR specifically
calibrated for optical fibers.
The calibration data includes
absolute intensities at the fiber
entrance port between 300-
1050 nm.
" The HG-1 M ERCURY A RGON
C ALIBRATION S OURCE
produces Mercury and Argon
emission lines from 253-922
nm for use in per-forming fast, reliable spectrometer wavelength calibrations.
