At the heart of spectroscopy lies the light source, a beacon of electromagnetic radiation that serves as the probing tool to interrogate matter. These sources emit light across a range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet to infrared, enabling scientists to explore various molecular transitions and interactions.
UV-Vis-NIR Light Sources
Xenon, deuterium, tungsten halogen cover 200-2500 nm. Ideal for absorbance, transmission, reflectance.
LEDs
LSM LEDs ensure efficient light coupling; the programmable driver monitors power and temperature.
Visible and NIR Light Sources
Krypton, tungsten halogen sources cover 360-2500 nm. Ideal for absorbance, color, reflectance.
Raman Lasers
High-power lasers: 532nm, 638nm, 785nm, 1064nm. Narrow lines, integrated laser drivers.
Calibration Sources
Calibration sources: emission for wavelength, radiometric for spectral intensity calibration.
Light Source Bulbs
Ocean Optics offers replacement bulbs and accessories for various light sources.
