Visible & NIR range from
350-2500nm 
Popular Systems: VIS-NIR Absorbance, Optical Metrology, Calibration Sources
StellarNet has a variety of VIS-NIR light sources available for spectroscopy applications.
The SL1 Tungsten Halogen Lamps have a wide spectral Range for 350-2500nm – effective for color, reflectance, transmittance, and absorbance measurements
Extensive Life – The SL1 has a 10,000 hour Tungsten Halogen lamp filled with Krypton gas
High Output Power – 200 W/m^2 and 2800K color temperature for many types of spectroscopy applications
Great Compatibility/Versatility – manipulate output with color-enhancing or signal-attenuating filters.
Miniature Size – Its small size of only 1.5” x 3” x 3.5” makes it a perfect match for our compact spectrometers. A small footprint makes this a great lamp for bench top applications.
Portability – The small enclosure and low power consumption provides the ultimate VIS-NIR light source for portability. 12VDC power requirements easily allow you to run off our battery pack accessories for hours of field work.
Options and Upgrades
The SL1-FILTER includes a 0.5” diameter filter holder nose cone. Customers can use a variety of filters for spectral attenuation, band pass, and more. Includes CEF filter to improve blue sensitivity
CEF- Color Equalization Filter adds red light suppression and blue light sensitivity for improved S/N in color applications
Lens-DCX adds internal lens assembly to SL1-Filter to amplify output signal 4-7x
The SL1-CUV adds a 1cm cuvette holder with integrated collimating lens. Dual purpose allows the collimating lens to be demounted for far field emission monitoring
SL1-BAT is a unique option that adds a jack to any SL1 so it can be powered from +5VDC. Users can achieve complete portability with the BP1 or BP2 battery pack for the spectrometer and the SL1-BAT
SL1-CAL is configured specifically for Irradiance calibrations (300-1100nm/300-1700nm). A USB drive is supplied with intensity data used to calibrate a SpectroRadiometer.
