Compact Broadband Visible Light Source: BluLoop

Source: Ocean Optics, Inc.
The new BluLoop Light Source from Ocean Optics is a compact, LED-based source in a rugged housing that includes four individually tunable LEDs for optimum balancing of the spectral output. BluLoop produces a balanced spectral output across the Visible (400-700 nm) range. When coupled to a miniature spectrometer, optical fibers and sampling accessories, BluLoop is ideal for color and reflectance measurements and general-purpose VIS-NIR spectroscopy.

BluLoop comprises four LEDs in a rugged, small-footprint housing, with each LED individually tunable for optimum balancing of the spectral output. Unlike tungsten halogen sources, BluLoop produces "flatter" spectral output in the Visible for more predictable response, especially for color analysis. In addition, BluLoop provides a more constant spectral distribution and strongly reduced instrumental stray light. Its power output is comparable to standard tungsten halogen sources.
