Request InfoHeraeus Noblelight America LLCIntended for photometric instrumentation applications, new xenon flash modules from Heraeus Noblelight America LLC provide a broad, continuous spectrum from deep UV to near-infrared (190 to 1100 nm) with very good flash-to-flash stability. Modules comprise a xenon flash lamp, power supply and connections, all fully enclosed in a metal housing with nine-pin D-sub connector for faster instrument design. They can be operated on 12- or 24-V input and up to a lamp power consumption of 5 W. With a service life of more than 109 flashes, the lamps are suitable for UV-VIS and fluoresence...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Buyers' Guide January 2020 IssueElectrodeless Vacuum UV Light SourcesResonance Ltd. electrodeless VUV sources are designed to be reliable, compact and maintenance free light sources suitable for use across a wide range of applications in the Space, research and...BioPhotonics Jan/Feb 2020 IssueVUV and IR MonochromatorThe Model 207 VUV and IR Monochromator from McPherson Inc. is a spectrometer designed for high brightness over a broad spectral range.

A typical optical delay line consists of a retroreflector or folding mirrors on...Photonics HandbookIntegrating Spheres: Collecting and Uniformly Distributing Light: The integrating sphere is a simple, yet often misunderstood, device for measuring optical radiation.An integrating sphere’s function is to spatially integrate radiant flux (light).

These articles will provide the tools optics designers need to tailor their designs to the appropriate manufacturing process and to optimize the cost of component fabrication.Aspheric surfaces are powerful tools that combine the optical corrections of multiple lenses into a single element (Figure 1) and affect performance in ways that spherical optics cannot. For example,...Photonics HandbookColorimetry: How to Measure Color Differences: Colorimetry, the science of color measurement, is widely employed in commerce, industry and the laboratory to express color in numerical terms and to measure color differences between specimens. Applications include paints, inks, plastics, textiles and apparel, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, displays, and other parts and products that reflect or transmit color.The use and importance of colorimetry has grown in unison with the increase of global manufacturing and processing.
