Glen Spectra introduces the OL 700-22 pulsed xenon flash source, a high-pressure, short arc xenon flash lamp operating at 100Hz rate
Designed for applications such as ultraviolet (UV) reflection and transmission measurements which require a higher UV to visible light ratio, and hence lower stray light, than can be achieved with a tungsten halogen source.
The OL 700-22 comes with an SMA 905 connector that couples the source through a miniature fibre optic probe to accessories, including integrating spheres and transmittance and reflectance attachments.
The ability to cascade two OL 700-22 sources enables the user to perform near simultaneous reflectance and transmittance sample analysis.
As it produces a pulsed signal, the OL 700-22 is less likely than continuous sources to contribute to solarisation in optical fibre assemblies, frequently occurring when fibres are illuminated with wavelengths less than 260nm.
