Overview: Ocean Optics Light Sources

Sources for Illumination, Excitation, Calibration

Ocean Optics offers compact, low-cost, modular light sources that feature SMA 905 connectors for quick coupling to our extensive line of spectrometers and sampling accessories.

Sources for illumination cover the UV and VIS-NIR ranges to enable absorbance, reflectance and transmission measurements. Compact LEDs produce pulsed or continuous output for fluorescence measurements. And for fast, reliable calibrations, our HG-1, LS-1-CAL and DH-2000-CAL cover the 253-922 nm, 300-1050 nm and 220-1050 nm ranges respectively.

Design features like built-in filter slots, combined with optional accessories such as direct-attach cuvette holders, make sampling simple. In addition to a wide selection of off-the-shelf sources, we offer custom designs.

Ocean Optics Modular Light Source Options

Type Usage
Tungsten Halogen Light Sources: Used most often as standard VIS-NIR light sources for absorbance, reflectance of solid objects and color measurement.
Deuterium Light Sources: Used most often for UV absorbance and reflectance measurements, and for applications requiring a stable, high-power source.
Combination UV-VIS-NIR Light Sources: Used as a single illumination source for measurements across our spectrometers' entire wavelength range.
Pulsed Xenon Lamp: Used most often in applications requiring a long-life light source for absorbance, reflectance and fluorescence measurements, and for measuring optically or thermally unstable samples.
Light-emitting Diodes: Used most often as an excitation source for fluorescence applications. Features minimal warm-up time and high stability.
Mercury-Argon Wavelength Calibration Source: Used as a wavelength calibration source for spectrophotometric systems. Produces Hg and Ar atomic emission lines from 253-922 nm.
Calibrated Tungsten Halogen Light Source: Used to calibrate the absolute spectral intensity of a system. Its spectral intensity is NIST-traceable.
