A Solar Simulator is a light source that approximates the illumination of natural sunlight. Solar simulators with various tailored spectral output are used to to test a variety of samples including but not limited to solar cells, sun screen (SPF), materials photo-stability, and other samples (in-vivo or in-vitro) under controlled, repeatable, laboratory conditions.

Quartz Tungsten Halogen (QTH) Lamps have high visible and near infrared output, with little ultraviolet making them great for use in Incandescent Light Sources. The stability, filament structure and high color temperature make our lamps the best for many measurement and illumination applications. We offer 10 to 1000 W QTH systems.

Arc Lamp Light Sources have high ultraviolet and visible output with some prominent lines in the near infrared, which make them useful for many Spectroscopy applications. The small, bright arcs have significant advantages for collimation and intense irradiation. We offer various families of DC and Pulsed Arc Lamp Sources.

Deuterium lamps are the preferred source for UV spectroscopy. Stray light is a significant problem in UV spectroscopy. Most sources have blackbody type spectra with low ultraviolet and high visible output. Most detectors have better response in the visible. The result, too often, is that the signal produced by scattered visible light exceeds the real signal in the UV.

We offer 1/8 m and 1/4 m manually operated and fully automated spectrographs. Either selection is suited to a wide variety of light analysis applications. Optical accessories to complement your monochromator or spectrograph, i.e. integrating spheres, filter wheels, focusing lens assemblies, fibers optics, are also available.

The MIR8035™ FTIR Spectrometrer has been designed to be useful for routine analytical applications for an FT-IR as well as non-traditional applications where modular design is required for flexibility in the optical path. The 8035 was designed specifically for Researchers and OEMs who want an instrument easily adaptable to their special needs, at an economical price, and without compromise in performance.

The ever-evolving technologies push the lower limit of measuring the photon energy. Look no further than Newport to find a solution for low light sensing applications. PMTs (photomultiplier tubes) from Oriel and APD (avalanche photodiode detectors) and femtowatt detectors from New Focus provides solutions for your measurement challenges.

Oriel is recognized as a leader in solar simulation and photovoltaic measurement technologies. Any laboratory exploring the effects of solar radiation can benefit from product offerings such as solar simulators which closely simulate hours of solar radiation in a fraction of the time. In addition, researchers in the field of photovoltaic technology can benefit from a wide range of efficiency and performance measurement instruments.
