Solar simulator
Fiber Coupled Xenon Solar Simulators with Extended NIR
Description:
This fiber‑coupled xenon solar simulator is a compact, steady‑state light source designed to closely approximate the AM1.5G solar spectrum across an extended wavelength range from 350 nm to 1800 nm, including strong near‑infrared (NIR) output. A single high‑power xenon lamp is used in combination with a light‑guide (fiber) irradiation system, allowing flexible illumination geometry without the need for optical‑axis alignment.
The fiber‑coupled design enables easy integration into diverse experimental setups, including glove boxes, dark enclosures, and custom test stations. With its extended NIR coverage and high spectral fidelity, the system is well suited for advanced photovoltaic, artificial photosynthesis, and photocatalysis research where response beyond the visible spectrum is critical.
