Steady State Solar Simulator

A system of 48 Large Area Solar Illuminator (LASI) units.
Each LASI unit illuminates up to 0.5x0.5m with a filtered Xenon Arc lamp producing 6,000K illumination. A 48 Unit array can be arranged to illuminate an area of 2x6m.
LASIs are best used in arrays of multiple units, as the optical performance improves when the light from multiple units overlaps. LASI units in arrays can produce a volumetric uniformity.
LASIs produce Class C Spectral match, Class A temporal instability. See the brochure for details about the system non-uniformity classification. Better optical performance is possible: please discuss your particular needs with your authorized Sciencetech technical support staff member.
Each unit has a single-phase power supply with a touch screen interface. Systems can be operated remotely through software.
Power requirements for each unit (1 of 48): 200-240 VAC, 12.1 to 9.0 A.
Base system does not include a mount, see brochure for product information.

This is for a sixteen unit set of LASI, designed to illuminate up to a 2x2m target with excellent three dimensional uniformity. All LASI systems operate with Xe arc lamps and therefore with the solar color temperature of 6,000 K. This allows the LASI to be used in applications that vary with depth, as opposed to generating only 2D uniformity on a single plane.
This price does not include a basic frame to hold the LASI.
This device is capable of Class C Spectral compliance and Class B temporal instability. Uniformity is typically ±15% over the central area.
Each unit has a single phase power supply and requires 200 to 240 VAC, 12.1 to 9.0 A. The required plug type needs to be defined based on the equipment's intended location.
Better performance is possible: please discuss your particular needs with your authorized Sciencetech technical support staff member.
