AM0 Filters simulate the solar spectrum in Space. This is a removable filter that can be inserted into the filter holder of any Sciencetech Solar Simulator. It is not necessary to use this filter with an AM1 filter to achieve AM1 rating. Please specify the Solar Simulator that this filter is to be matched with when submitting your quote. Filter Sizes This filter is 3" x 3", and if a customer requires a smaller size filter, it is possible to cut them with the assumption that the excess size cannot be salvaged. Sciencetech can offer to cut these filters to smaller sizes with 3 hours labor. The excess will become scrap and discarded and hence overall cost goes up, not down. Solar Filter Temperature Handling Although the filters are designed to handle up to 500°C, Sciencetech has only tested them at 200°C as that is the highest temperature of our own solar simulators. Use with Third Party Xenon Light Sources Although this solar filter is designed to be used with Sciencetech's xenon based solar simulators, it can also be used with any third party xenon based light sources to recreate the solar spectrum of the sun. Although Sciencetech cannot guarantee the spectral performance when used with third party xenon light sources, there is no reason to believe that it would be any different. Please note that Sciencetech recommends that this solar filter is air cooled to prevent it from cracking under the intense heat. It is design for use with xenon sources up to 150W provided that it is air cooled to a temperature of less than 200°C. Technical Specifications
