Light Sources

A light source is a complete system capable of illumination, consisting of a lamp, a lamp housing, a power supply, and necessary optics, cables, and hardware.

Sciencetech manufactures a variety of light sources with applications for both research and industry. For more information about our light sources and capabilities select a product group below and contact us at sales contact today!

Sciencetech Light Sources

SCIENCETECH offers light sources from UV to Infrared. A complete light source typically includes the lamp mounted in a housing with condensing/coupling optics, a power supply and all the necessary cables and hardware. For spectroscopic applications, a DC stabilized power supply is required. Arc sources also include a stand-alone igniter to break down the gas and establish the plasma discharge. A full line of accessories such as light condensers and collimators, filters, optical feedback units output stabilization and light shutters are available.

 

We offer several standard types of light sources:

  • Xenon Arc lamp Light Sources.  Arc lamps contain plasma confined in a quartz envelope, which produces radiation from 200nm to 2.5um. They have a very strong ultraviolet output and, since the emitting plasma volume is very small, their brightness in the visible region is approximately one order of magnitude higher than that of QTH sources, making them excellent for illuminating small targets. The main arc bulb types are Xenon (Xe), Mercury (Hg), Mercury-Xenon (Hg-Xe) and metal halide under high pressure for maximum brightness.

     

     

    Quartz Tungsten Halogen. (QTH) Light from QTH lamps is emitted by a heated filament. The filament is enclosed in a quartz envelope filled with gases. The spectral distribution is close to that of a blackbody curve with a color temperature of approximately 3000°K. QTH lamps have a useful spectral output from 300nm to 2.7µm.

     

     

    Deuterium and Dual Deuterium Tungsten . Deuterium (D2) sources are ideal for UV spectroscopy since they have a high ultraviolet output with little visible and infrared emission. UV grade fused silica envelopes can also be used, instead of the standard UV glass envelope, for missions below 180 nm.

     

     

    Infrared Light Source. Sciencetech offers both IR emitter housing Elliptical Reflector or Parabolic Reflector.

  • Coupling our capabilities in light source manufacture and spectroscopy allows us to manufacture complete systems such as our Sciencetech Tunable Light Source.

     

    Our expertise extends to Sciencetech Solar Simulators which are broad band light sources with specific spectral and radiant intensity properties.

This lamp housing design is optimized for 300W xenon arc lamps. It features an F/1.2 elliptical reflector for faster light collection than the F/4.

Lamp Power: 300W
Reflector Type: Elliptical, F/1.2
Lamp Type: Xenon (lamp sold separately)
Compatible Lamps: XE300, XE300-UV
Compatible Power Supply: 601-300

All Sciencetech LH lamp housings feature a configurable and upgradeable housing capable of being operated in the vertical or horizontal position. Each housing comes with adjustable base plates for both configurations, allowing easy alignment of the lamp to the rest of the optical system.

Power and communication are supplied to the housing via a single cable connected to the touchscreen power supply, allowing users to easily and neatly set up the system. A safety interlock prevents power being supplied to the housing while the cover is open, protecting users from electric shock or unwanted light exposure.

Several accessories are available, including downward-facing stands, optical intensity feedback, and more.

The IRE-12 a coiled filament operating at approximately 900 degrees Celsius when powered with 10 watts. The radiating element is a coil of resistance wire which has a high emissivity in the Infrared spectral region. The coil is supported by a grooved cylindrical substrate of alumina, resulting in the windings being electrically insulated from each other. This contributes to a more uniform radiating source. The unit does not require operation in a sealed atmosphere. The header is fabricated from cold-rolled steel. The support pins are hermetically sealed in glass.

The Glow bar (Globar) is a typical infrared source for the THz researcher. The heating element itself is very low cost, allowing researchers to use them without worry about replacing expensive bulbs or components. The majority of the price for this unit consists of the water cooling (required for vacuum operation), large reflector to efficiently collect the radiation, and housing designed to withstand the high level of vacuum required for THz operation.
This model is specifically designed to mount to the optional External Input Port of the SPS300. If you wish to use a completed Globar unit for your own applications, please speak with a Technical Support specialist.
Please note that this device requires water cooling to operate under vacuum and includes all the lines, but not the water recirculator itself. If purchased as part of a complete SPS300 system, it is included.

This is a legacy product and is no longer produced by Sciencetech

Sciencetech’s 201-100-D lamp housing allows for a vertically mounted 30W deuterium lamp. Such lamps produce a strong broadband UV output from 185-400nm despite its low wattage. The unit is forced air-cooled with a blower at the base that draws air from the top intake to the bottom of the housing. The lamp socket is mounted vertically on alignment pins such that the lamp’s filament can be properly centered on the front light exit port for optimum light output efficiency. The front light exit port includes one 1” fused silica collimating lens to output parallel rays. The lamp and external power supply are sold separately.

Compatible Lamps: 30D2-7-1, 30D2-1-1.8
