Description

A calibrated halogen light source from Ocean Optics is designed to accurately calibrate the absolute spectral response of spectrometer systems. By pairing these precision light sources with our software, you can determine absolute intensity values across UV, visible, and NIR wavelength ranges.

Each radiometrically calibrated halogen light source (deuterium & tungsten halogen or tungsten halogen) is rigorously characterized to deliver a known quantity of light with minimal uncertainty. Every source is verified against NIST-traceable standards, ensuring a continuous chain of traceability for the most reliable and high-quality measurements.

In addition, Ocean Optics provides radiometric calibration services performed in an ISO 17025-certified laboratory, guaranteeing consistent performance and dependable results for demanding optical applications.
