HPX-2000-HP-DUV High Power Xenon Source For Spectroscopy

Source: Ocean Optics, Inc.

Continuous wave xenon source has response from 185-2000 nm

The HPX-2000-HP-DUV Xenon Light Source is a powerful, 75-watt short-arc lamp that’s ideal for UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy and other applications where a high-intensity lamp is necessary. The lamp provides continuous spectral output from 185-2000 nm and has up to 2,000 hours of bulb life.

The HPX-2000-HP-DUV features an integrated shutter that can be controlled via a switch on the front panel or a TTL signal over the rear panel, so that taking dark measurements and making other adjustments does not affect lamp stability or compromise experiment integrity. By adding an external filtering option such as an Ocean Optics CUV-FL-DA direct-attach cuvette holder, the HPX-2000-HP-DUV becomes a convenient broadband excitation source for fluorescence.

The high-power HPX-2000-HP-DUV provides output intensity over the entire 185-2000 nm range that is 3.5x-4x higher than standard xenon sources. Optimum warm-up time is 40-60 minutes and drift is <0.06% per hour (after 1 hour stabilization).
