Highly Collimated Solar Simulators

This solar simulator is based on a Fresnel lens to collimate the light beam from the 1.6kW Xe ozone-free arc lamp source, resulting in highly collimated illumination of the target spot. The spectral distribution of the xenon light source, along with the use of specially calibrated air mass filters, closely simulates the sun’s true spectral distribution in various conditions on Earth.

Works best with 1 Sun AM1.5D filters (not included). Other AM filters are available but they may change the target size achievable. Contact a Sciencetech technical sales representative for details.

Target: up to 20 cm (8") diameter (depends on required irradiance level)
Collimation: 0.7° half angle (70% of irradiance is within)
Non-uniformity: ±25% (not classified)
Lamp: 1.6kW ozone-free Xe short arc
Lamp Housing: air cooled
Illumination Direction: horizontal*
Power Supply: 611-1.6k adjustable touchscreen supply
Filter Mounting: for one 7.6 × 7.6 cm (3" × 3") filter (not included)

200-240 VAC input, 12.1-9.0A, 50/60Hz, Fused 15A
requires 1 IEC 60320 C19 power cable

Optional accessories: vertical beam turning unit, light intensity stabilizer, integrated motorized shutter

* Systems can be built for downfacing operation if specified at time of order

Sciencetech is proud to offer our new line of Ultra-High Efficiency solar simulators.
By utilizing a completely new design for the beam homogenizer, the UHE systems are capable of far more efficiency and power unit than previously possible. All this without sacrificing temporal stability, spatial uniformity, or spectral matching.
This Class AAA Solar Simulator is capable of illuminating a 10 x10cm area and includes an integrated housing to allow the user to simply place their samples at the appropriate distance. It also includes the required optics to increase the collimation to 0.5 degrees, allowing the testing of large Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) cells, and for other applications requiring highly collimated solar light.
The simulator comes complete with an AM1.0D air mass filter (optional other AM filters are also available), power supply and arc lamp.
Sciencetech also offers extended spectral matching, both in the 300-400nm range and 1100-1800nm. Please speak to your authorized technical sales staff member for more information.

Please note that this device requires a 3m (minimum) vertical space, and 3m (minimum) horizontal space (the footprint is 3m x 1m x 3m).
