                        Overview

                        Raman excitation wavelength packages:

                        • 532 nm – This wavelength is the workhorse for inorganic materials, offering maximum signal for samples that do not suffer from autofluorescence.

                        • 638 nm –  Often used for biomedical applications, which need to balance the risk of sample damage with generation of fluorescence.

                        • 785 nm – Yields quality Raman spectra for most chemicals, with limited interference from fluorescence. Also offers good spectral resolution.

                        • 1064 nm – Is popular for pigment-rich tissues and materials. Though the Raman signal is much weaker, the near absence of fluorescence permits spectra to be obtained with a reasonable SNR.
                    • Light Sources

                    • Modular sources are available for illumination, excitation and calibration, with options for UV, Visible and NIR wavelengths.

                        • UV-Vis-NIR Light Sources

                        • UV-Vis-NIR light sources for illumination use xenon, deuterium and tungsten halogen to cover various wavelength segments from 200-2500 nm. Use sources for absorbance, transmission, reflectance and more.

                            • Xenon Light Sources

                            • Xenon light sources offer very high intensity in the UV and are useful for absorbance, fluorescence or reflectance measurements. Pulsed xenon sources are high intensity with a lower duty cycle, making them ideal for measurements where high intensity UV light can damage the sample.

                              Standard and high power output options are available.

                              Ocean Insight xenon sources have an SMA 905 output connector and seamlessly integrate with our fiber optic spectrometers and accessories, including optical fibers, cuvette holders, probes and other sampling optics.

                                • We offer two types of calibration sources: gas-discharge emission sources for spectrometer wavelength calibration; and radiometrically calibrated sources to calibrate the absolute spectral intensity of irradiance systems.

                                    • Radiometric Calibrated Light Sources

                                    • Radiometrically calibrated light sources from Ocean Insight are used to calibrate the absolute spectral response of a spectrometer system. Using these light sources and our software, you can determine absolute intensity values across UV, Visible and NIR wavelengths.

                                      An extended-range (to 2400 nm) calibration option is also available, for an additional fee. Contact us for details.

                                      Radiometrically calibrated light sources are carefully characterized to deliver a known quantity of light with very low uncertainty. Each source is measured to NIST-traceable standards, creating an unbroken chain of traceability and providing you with the highest quality and most reliable data.
