The EQ-99XFC LDLS™ is a compact, long-life, high-brightness, broadband laser-driven light source with fiber-coupled output, designed to meet the rigorous demands of advanced imaging and analytical spectroscopy in both the life sciences and materials sciences. Traditional light sources like Tungsten/Halogen, Xenon-arc, and Deuterium lamps have been used to cover broad spectral ranges. However, these multiple lamp systems are often costly, optically inefficient, and limited by their electrode-driven design, which restricts their brightness and power capabilities. Moreover, these traditional lamps suffer from short lifespans and declining output over time, necessitating frequent replacements. Energetiq's revolutionary LDLS™ technology addresses these issues by providing a single light source that offers extreme high brightness with a relatively flat spectrum, extending from deep ultraviolet through visible light into the near infrared. This technology also boasts a lifespan significantly longer than traditional lamps.

The EQ-99XFC model comes equipped with integrated collection optics, making it user-friendly for those requiring a fiber connection. Its high-performance ellipsoidal collector ensures that the ultra-high brightness and power stability are maintained across the broad spectrum, ranging from 190nm to 2100nm. This light is efficiently coupled into small diameter optical fibers, enhancing the device's applicability and performance. The proprietary fiber-protection technology further boosts the device's capabilities by enhancing deep ultraviolet (DUV) performance and significantly extending the fiber's life by mitigating solarization effects.

Utilizing patented laser-driven bulb technology and ultra-clean construction, the EQ-99XFC is an ideal choice for applications that demand ultra-long lamp life combined with high broadband brightness. This innovative design not only eliminates the need for multiple lamps, thereby reducing costs and improving efficiency, but also ensures superior spatial and power stability for repeatable measurements. The electrodeless operation of the EQ-99XFC contributes to its long life and reduced cost of ownership, making it a superior choice for users seeking reliability and performance in demanding scientific applications.
