Tunable Vacuum Ultraviolet Light Source

Numerous possibilities exist for coupling monochromatic light source systems to experimental systems. For work in the vacuum, and parts of the extreme ultraviolet, we offer a series of 'normalized' solutions. While these can't fit every experimental requirement, we use these as starting points when tailoring systems for your specific requirements. For example, the combination: Model 632 Deuterium light source, Model 615 reflective condenser / energy optimizer, and Model 234/302 vacuum monochromator form a ready and adaptable base for vacuum UV illumination or Spectrophotometry in the vacuum UV 120 to 380nm region. Switching the source for the windowless Model 629 allows access to ionized-gas emission lines 30nm and longer wavelengths. We can tailor output optics for the wavelength or experimental requirements too.

The general figures below (click to enlarge) show some examples of configurations: ~20mm diameter output collimated beam (all reflective optics), focused output (all reflective optics), focused output (reflective and refractive optics), ~150mm diameter output collimated beam (all reflective optics.) Contact us today and let us know the wavelength range of interest and distance from the experimental chamber flange to sample - we can readily quote a working solution!
