Calibrated light source
The AvaLight-HAL-CAL Avantes

The AvaLight-HAL-CAL is a compact, low-cost light source, calibrated for the VIS (350-1095nm). Optionally an extended calibration for the NIR spectral range (1100-2500 nm) can be ordered. This NIST traceable calibrated light source is developed for use with all AvaSpec spectrometers, to measure absolute spectral intensity.

The AvaLight-HAL-CAL comes with a built-in diffuser, a cosine corrector CC-VIS/NIR with SMA adapter and a CDROM with the calibration file in ASCII format. The AvaLight-HAL-CAL calibration file can be read by AvaSoft-IRRAD, a software package developed to turn your spectrometer system into a spectroradiometer.

A special version of the calibrated light source, the AvaLight-HAL-CAL-ISPXX, is available to couple the AvaSphere-XX-IRRAD integrating spheres to the light source (XX=30, 50, 80). This version comes with a special bottomplate to stabilize the Avaspheres.

The AvaLight-HAL-CAL cannot be used as an illumination source for spectral absorbance, transmission and reflection measurements. The AvaLight-HAL-CAL is calibrated together with the included PS-24V/1.25A power supply.
