Ocean Optics Xenon light sources are renowned for their high intensity in the UV spectrum, making them indispensable for a variety of scientific measurements such as absorbance, fluorescence, and reflectance.

These Xenon sources are particularly beneficial in scenarios where high-intensity UV light could potentially harm the sample, thanks to their pulsed nature which offers a high intensity with a lower duty cycle. This unique characteristic makes these Xenon lamps ideal for sensitive applications, ensuring that the integrity of the sample is maintained while still delivering precise and reliable results. 

The PX-2 Pulsed Xenon Lamp is a standout product in this category, offering a high flash rate and short-arc xenon lamp functionality within the 220-750 nm range. This makes it exceptionally suited for applications that require meticulous absorbance, reflection, fluorescence, and phosphorescence measurements. Its ability to operate at speeds up to 220 Hz, combined with excellent pulse-to-pulse stability, ensures consistent and accurate data collection. The PX-2 also features two trigger modes, allowing users to control the flash rate via software, which is particularly advantageous for experiments involving optically or thermally labile samples.

In addition to the PX-2, the HPX-2000 Xenon Light Source offers a broader wavelength range from 185 nm to 2 μm, providing versatility for various experimental needs. With a nominal bulb power of 35 W and a typical output power of 1.52 mW, this light source is designed for high-performance applications. Both the PX-2 and HPX-2000 are equipped with SMA 905 output connectors, ensuring seamless integration with fiber optic spectrometers and accessories. This compatibility allows for straightforward experiment setups, enabling researchers to focus on their work without the hassle of complex equipment configurations.
