Tunable PowerArc

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Tunable PowerArc™ Illuminator is a high-intensity continuous wave (CW) light source that offers tunability from 250 to 1,000 nm, delivering milliwatts of energy. It is portable, simple to operate, and provides the power of a milliwatt laser with the continuous tunability of a monochromator.

Applications
This illuminator is suitable for a wide range of scientific, OEM, and research applications, including:

Detector calibration
Photochemistry
Photo-activation
Photobiology
Photovoltaics
Solar simulators
Spectroscopy
Optical teaching labs
Dermatology

It is also used in various spectroscopy systems such as fluorometers, UV-Vis spectrometers, CD spectrometers, and stopped-flow spectrometers.
