Instructions on the initial set-up of an Oriel quantum efficiency system.

Lamp Replacement and Alignment Procedure for Xe Arc Lamp Tunable Light Sources

Instructions on the installation of the quadruple grating turret into an Oriel MS257 monochromator or spectrograph.

Instructions on basic operation and installation of a Oriel solar simulator.

This webinar series shares the fundamental measurements for a quantum efficiency system and how they apply to the research and design of a solar cell. Representatives from MKS Newport present an in-depth discussion of internal quantum efficiency (IQE), external quantum efficiency (EQE), and incident photon to charge carrier efficiency (IPCE).

In part two of this series, representatives from MKS Newport present an in-depth discussion on equipment and test configurations used for cutting-edge cell development such as perovskites and multi-junction cells. These configuration topics include device interfacing (e.g., mounting, electrical probing, temperature control, and light biasing), light generation techniques (e.g., diffraction grating tuned DC light versus frequency controlled chopped signals), and signal detection (e.g., monitor, reflected, and diffuse). They discuss specific requirements that are needed to take these measurements as well as the key challenges researchers run into during experimentation.

This video demonstrates how to install and align a new lamp in Oriel’s Tunable Light Source models TLS-250Q, TLS-250QR, TLS-250QR. Please follow all of the safety precautions mentioned in this video.

Demonstration on the initial set up and test measurement of an Oriel PVIV station. This video shows an I-V measurement of a Silicon reference cell using the Oriel MiniSol LED solar simulator connected to a PVIV-1A kit.

Oriel’s USFW-100 Universal Standalone Filter Wheel is an excellent choice where a standalone filter wheel or direct drop-in replacement for any previous model Oriel filter wheels is required. For standalone operation, metric and imperial threaded holes allow for rod mounting with Newport’s line of optical post mounting hardware.The filter wheel is equipped with Oriel’s standard 1.5 inch flange for compatibility with all Oriel monochromators, spectrographs, APEX2 light sources, and Tunable Light Sources. Up to six 1-inch diameter filters can be installed and accessed with an adjacent filter transition time of less than 1.0 s. Each filter wheel position is rotated to a positional accuracy or repeatability of 0.5˚. The filter wheel is easily controllable by its manual pushbutton switch, or any existing Oriel monochromator or spectrograph software.Standalone PC control via USB 2.0 is also possible with the included LabVIEW(TM) based All-Wheel Drive Filter Wheel Utility Software. This new software enables filter labeling for easy recall and saving of frequently used filter sequences and durations, among other features.

Overview of Newport's solution portfolio for photovoltaic manufacturing from lasers, to motion control, to optical components, to the SolaryX™ family of PV scribe tools.

The OPS model power supplies by Oriel Products® are designed to meet the precise requirements for proper operation of DC arc lamps and Quartz Tungsten Halogen (QTH) lamps. These sleek, high performance power supplies are capable of operating a lamp in constant power, current, and intensity modes with the high stability, low ripple light output typically required for radiometric measurement. Light intensity and shutter timing control features are integrated into the power supply.Oriel Products also offers a light intensity controller kit (LIK-LMP) for use with its line of Research Lamp Housings and Q Series Lamp Housings. The OPS Power Supplies are also capable of operating any TTL compatible shutter. Combining all of these capabilities into one small, lightweight package simplifies setup on the user’s end by reducing the number of components and cables and amount of space that is typically required to interface all of these components together. The OPS Power Supplies are also CE and RoHS compliant.

Newport’s Cornerstone 130B 1/8m monochromator is ideal for research and OEM applications where speed and reliability are essential. Based on the same optical design as its predecessor, this is a direct replacement for the Cornerstone 130 series with updated looks and functionality. The CS130B has improved wavelength accuracy and precision, higher optical throughput, as well as communications interfaces USB and RS232 standard.

Newport Corporation offers a broad range of solutions for the manufacture of crystalline silicon cells and thin film solar panels.
