Pulsed Xenon Light Source

The µPAX-3 Pulsed Xenon Light Source from Excelitas Technologies Corp. features a 2-W device with a small form factor for analytical instrument applications.

With an innovative lamp design, circuitry, and components in a packaged light source, the µPAX-3 provides ms-duration pulses of broadband light with high arc stability. The module contains an integrated flash lamp, trigger circuit, capacitor charging power supply, and precision arc alignment in a small cubic format. Its short-arc xenon flash lamps offer a wide range of flash energy levels with the ability to generate light over a continuous spectrum from UV to IR.

Applications include analytical instruments, spectrophotometry, point-of-care analytics, environmental analytics, absorption analysis, fluorescence triggers, immunoassays, and microplate readers.
