Please select desired filters when ordering. Please speak with your authorized Sciencetech Technical Sales Staff for further details and a full range of options.

This system includes 1 IEC 60320 C13 compatible power cables. Region-specific version must be selected at the time of placing an order (see product 491-9001).

An AM0 filter compatible with Sciencetech solar simulators, including FT-style filter holder. Filter clear aperture is a diameter of 76 mm (3"). Please select the product line the filter is intended to be used with to ensure the proper spectral output.

AM0 simulates the solar spectrum just outside Earth’s atmosphere, where there is very little atmosphere-related absorption of solar radiation. This is generally used for space applications.

An AM1.5D filter compatible with Sciencetech solar simulators, including FT-style filter holder. Filter clear aperture is a diameter of 76 mm (3"). Please select the product line the filter is intended to be used with to ensure the proper spectral output.

AM1.5D simulates the terrestrial solar spectrum on the ground when the sun is at a zenith angle of 48.2°. It includes only direct light from the sun, and not the diffuse light that is scattered by the atmosphere. As a result, this filter simulates the direct radiation which reaches the ground.

Please note that for some simulator models the same filter is used to supply an AM1.5G spectral match. Purchasing separate AM1.5G and AM1.5D filters for the same model simulator may not provide a different spectrum.

An AM1.5G filter compatible with Sciencetech solar simulators, including FT-style filter holder. Filter clear aperture is a diameter of 76 mm (3"). Please select the product line the filter is intended to be used with to ensure the proper spectral output.

If the filter is not intended to be used with a Sciencetech solar simulator, the product line "None" may be selected, but the spectral output cannot be guaranteed when paired with a non-Sciencetech source.

AM1.5G simulates the terrestrial solar spectrum on the ground when the sun is at a zenith angle of 48.2°. It includes both direct light from the sun, and the diffuse light that is scattered by the atmosphere. As a result, this filter simulates the total radiation, known as global radiation, which reaches the ground.

The 9030DS consists of two 100 mm scanning monochromators placed in series in subtractive mode. Bandpass is determined by the width of an intermediate slit, but the 9030DS has a net output dispersion of zero because the monochromators are optically coupled so that the dispersion of the second grating cancels that of the first. This leads to homogenized wavelengths at the output port - there is no spectrum, only a single undispersed slit image - which allows the unit to act as a tunable bandpass or notch filter.

Stray light of all sorts is drastically reduced in a double monochromator, and in the 9030DS it is further minimized by the use of concave holographic gratings. It is ideal for applications where stray light is a problem - where there may be a strong scattered background, such as in spectroradiometry, Raman, or measurements of solar radiation.

The 9030DS can be used as a tunable notch filter to remove one particular wavelength while allowing all others over the bandpass to pass through, making it an ideal instrument to pre-filter out the strong laser excitation wavelength in a fluorescence or Raman system so that the weaker output signals can be observed.

The 9030DS is a fully integrated unit with the two diffraction gratings coupled mechanically for accurate positioning, adjusted manually using a thumb-wheel. It can be upgraded to be motorized and controlled by a computer with the 9030 Motorized Upgrade. Only one motor and drive unit is required for both monochromators, enabling control via Sciencetech Sci-Mono Active-X library or full featured Sci-Spec software.

The Model 9030DS can also be used to pass or filter out several selected wavelengths by using a custom intermediate multi-slit mask instead of a single width intermediate slit. Please contact a Sciencetech Applications Specialist for such custom wavelength filtering.

Mirror coatings have been chosen for this model to enhance performance in the UV-VIS region. There are 5 grating choices (sold separately) covering from UV to near-IR; choose a UV to VIS range to pair with the UV/VIS mirror coatings on this model. Two gratings are required.

Please add a minimum of three slits (for the input, output, and intermediate position) separately. Several removable fixed-width slit sizes are available to choose from ranging from 50 μm to 3 mm width. Please note that a 50μm slit may introduce some artifacts when used with the 9030 - this model is recommended to be used with slits of 100μm or larger for best performance in most applications. Additional removable slits and custom width slits can also be purchased.
Available slits include:
Model Slit Width
SF005 - 50 μm
SF010 - 100μm
SF025 - 250μm
SF050 - 500μm
SF100 - 1mm

SF300 - 3mm

The SH-XLH-B is a computer controlled shutter for 201, LH-S, XLH-S lamp houses and SF/SLB solar simulators. Based on the successful SSES lines of blade shutters for Sciencetech's line of high powered solar simulators.
An arc lamp is not designed to be frequently turned off and on and doing so will dramatically lower its service life. In addition, each time it is turned on it requires the power supply to ignite it with a 20,000 V+ spark. The best option for performing exposure testing is to integrate an electronic shutter system with the lamp house or solar simulator. This electronic shutter has an activation time of <150 ms.

The SH-XLH-B can be controlled using Sciencetech PS-XE-series of computer-controlled touchscreen power supplies (e.g PS-XE300-A-T). This includes automated exposure time control. Manual models of the PS-XE (e.g. PS-XE300-A-M) cannot control this shutter. Alternatively, a shutter controller model SH-C and SCI-SHUTTER Software are available for controlling the shutter. The SH-C controller is not included with this shutter.

This shutter can be used with any high powered light source and can effectively block a 2" diameter beam.
This shutter is closed frame and the shutter mechanism is not exposed. For an open frame shutter please see the SH-2-B-OF product.

In the 9072DS, the grating in the second monochromator is arranged such that it reverses the spectral dispersion of the first monochromator. This leads to a spectrally homogenized beam at the output port of the second monochromator and greatly reduced stray light, ideal for spectroradiometry, Raman or UV measurements of solar radiation.
The arrangement of the 9072DS allows it to act either as a tunable bandpass filter or a tunable notch filter. Arranged as a tunable bandpass filter the bandpass of the device is determined by the width of an intermediate slit. When arranged as a tunable notch filter the width of the notch is determined by the physical width of an opaque notch placed at the intermediate slit position.
The 9072DS can also be used to pass or filter out several selected wavelengths by using a custom intermediate multi-slit mask instead of a single width intermediate slit.

One SS-80 slit is included, which can be attached to either the input or output port. A second slit can be added to the order if desired.
The fixed intermediate slit or notch filter is not included in the 9072DS and can be selected from any of Sciencetech's SF-series of fixed slits and added to the order. A custom multi-slit mask can be added to the order upon request.
Gratings and grating holders are not included. The 9072DS accommodates 30 × 30 mm gratings, with up to three gratings per turret. Two of each selected grating must be purchased to fill both monochromators. One grating holder is required for each grating.

This system includes 2 IEC 60320 C13 compatible power cables. Region-specific version must be selected at the time of placing an order (see product 491-9001).
