Steady State Solar Simulator

With the Sciencetech Solar LightLine you can direct the Class AAA solar light anywhere you want. Classic designs for solar simulators require you to bring your sample to the solar simulator. Now, you can bring the solar simulator to your sample! This makes the Sciencetech Solar LightLine series of fiberized solar simulators ideal for research that just can't accommodate traditional bulky solar simulators. The solar light can be easily integrated with a glove box without mounting the entire solar simulator in the glove box, saving space and adding flexibility. The standard 4-foot-long fiber makes the simulator ideal for doing spot checks of devices on manufacturing lines or in dedicated setups that can't accommodate a bulky solar simulator.

The Lightline includes space for fitting one internal accessory. Options are a motorized, 6-position filter wheel, with a variety of spectral or neutral density filters that can be supplied. Or a manual or motorized attenuation system that provides continuous control over intensity at the target from 10-100%. Internal accessories must be selected at the time of order and cannot be added at a later time.

Every Lightline includes an internal two-position filter tray that accommodates Sciencetech FT style filters. Model AX-100 and AX-200 come with a removeable FT-style filter that permits one sun operation. One filter location is reserved for the selected air mass filter. Air mass filters must be selected in the order for spectral match classification.

Classification is performed to ASTM E927-19. Classification to IEC 60904-9 and JIS C 08912 standards can be performed on request. Please contact your Sciencetech Technical Representative for details.

This vertical stand enables the SS150 fully reflective solar simulator to project its output beam downwards onto a horizontal illumination table which makes it ideal for solar cell testing. The stand assures the distance between the output port of the solar simulator to the sample platform produces exactly 1 SUN intensity (100mW/cm2 using an AM1.5G filter).
