Light Source, Xenon, 100 W Ozone Free, F/1 Asphere, Q Series Housing

The 66508-100XF-Q1 Q Series Xenon Light Source provides an economical solution for ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) applications.  This complete light source includes a 100 W Ozone Free Xe lamp, lamp socket adapter, lamp housing interface kit, lamp power supply, rear reflector assembly, Q Series lamp housing and condenser lens assembly. After a quick and easy assembly, the light source is ready for use and easily integrated into a user's setup.

The included model 60000 Series Q Lamp Housing uses convection cooling to maintain a safe operating temperature for Oriel's low wattage lamps, without the loud noise or induced vibration of the typical cooling fan. This housing is popular for researchers that need an inexpensive, compact, versatile lamp housing. The characteristics of the output light can be changed by simply swapping the condenser lens.

This light source includes a F/1 asphere condenser lens assembly with a 1.5 Inch Series flange. The aspheric lens shape reduces spherical aberration more effectively than a plano-convex lens. Additional condenser lenses can be ordered and mounted to the same Q series lamp housing for simultaneous illumination.

The included 69907 power supply is a highly regulated lamp power supply. Much of an arc lamp's stability in wavelength and output intensity is due to keeping the temperature and pressure of the gas inside the lamp's envelope as constant possible. The 69907 power supply provides highly stable voltage and current supply to the arc lamp, keeping the arc lamp's ripple to less than 0.5% rms while maximizing the lifetime of the lamp.
