Request InfoNewport - Oriel InstrumentsSTRATFORD, Conn., March 7, 2011 — Oriel, a Newport Corp. Brand, now offers the Sol3A family, a variety of Class AAA solar simulator products for photovoltaic (PV) applications. The continuous-wave sources offer an output beam of 300 × 300 mm and use a xenon lamp. They feature a stable proprietary spectral correction filter and optical design to meet Class A performance qualifications, including spectral match, nonuniformity of irradiance, and temporal instability for compliance with IEC, JIS and ASTM standards. The beam output offers maximum flexibility for PV test-and-measurement capabilities.
