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.

A system of 16 LASI units. Each LASI unit illuminates up to 0.5x0.5m with a filtered xenon short arc lamp producing 6,000K illumination.

Non-uniformity is not tested, and typical values are quoted.
LASI units are tested for spectral match compliance to ASTM E927-19 AM1.5G class C and temporal instability compliance to ASTM E927-19 class A.
LASI units include one high-quality 1.6kW xenon short arc lamp per unit purchased.

Each unit includes an integrated single-phase power supply with a touch screen interface that requires 220VAC. Systems can be operated remotely through Sciencetech PowerControl software. C++/ Python control is possible with an additional SciencetechCOM module. Labview control is possible with additional SciAX module.

In certain applications a single LASI may be used on its own. However, LASIs are best used in arrays of multiple units, as the optical performance improves when the light from multiple units overlaps.

LASI units have a mounting flange but do not include a stand to hold the LASI unit. LASI units are intended to operate vertically facing downwards. See the brochure for additional product information and available accessories.

Power requirements: 200-240 VAC, 12.1 to 9.0 A per unit.

This accessory is a base and post assembly designed to work with 2" diameter optical assemblies. The PM90 allows a 2" optical assembly to be held vertically or horizontally and rotated through any angle, and is adjustable to any height above the included base plate from 0 to 12". The included 6x12" base plate can be secured to a standard optical table or left free standing. This accessory can be used with Sciencetech's A1 and A4 Solar LightLine solar simulators to allow for horizontal or vertical operation (and at any angle) by holding to output optic at the end of the 4 foot light guide.
