AvaLight-HAL-S-MINI
Tungsten-Halogen Light Source
AvaLight-HAL-S-MINI

From visible light to near infrared, that’s
where the AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini works
best. It’s a compact, stabilized halogen
light source, with adjustable focusing of
the fiber connection, maximizing output
power at the desired wavelength. The lightsource also has adjustable output power toprovide extra power or longer bulb life.
A filter-slot mounted on the front of the
AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini accepts 1” round or 2”
x 2” square filters, to block specific ranges
of wavelengths or instantly lower theintensity.

Light Sources

The adjustable focus on the AvaLight-HALS-Mini helps you get the most out of yourlight source: it makes sure all possible
power is transmitted through your opticalfiber. Bulb replacement is easy and can bedone in a matter of minutes.
Optionally a combined direct-attach
cuvette holder and attenuator is available(CUV-ATT-DA-HAL). for attenuation you
can use the Inline Filterholder, FH-INL, or
the Inline attenuator, ATT-INL.
The optical output can be controlled
through a dongle at the backside or fromyour spectrometer. At low setting the

lamp has a color temperature of 2700K but
provides over 13000 hours of lifetime. The
standard or medium setting changes thecolor temperature to 2850K and provides
50% more power with a bulb lifetime of4000 hours. The high power setting gives acolor temperature of 3000K, double powercompared to the long-life setting and gives
you up to 1000 hours of lifetime.
The AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini features an internal TTL-shutter, controllable from your
AvaSpec spectrometer. This gives you theability to use the auto-save dark option in
AvaSoft spectroscopy software.

AvaLight-DH-S Deuterium-Halogen
Light Source
AvaLight-DH-S

In need of more power than the AvaLightDHc? The AvaLight-DH-S is Avantes’ mostpowerful deuterium halogen source. Like
the DHc it is also a combined deuterium
and halogen light source, capable of transmitting light in the UV/VIS/NIR-range, but
has 35 times more halogen output and up
to 300 times more deuterium power. The
source has a prominent 656 nm deuterium
peak which can limit dynamic range (seeAvalight-DH-S-BAL as an alternative). It
includes a focusing lens assembly, to fully
utilize the possibilities and size of yourfiber.

Light Sources

The AvaLight-D-S is a deuterium lightsource only, making it a great option formeasurements in the UV range, 190-400
nm. The AvaLight-D-S-DUV version starts
even lower at 175 nm, for your deep-UV
experiments. This version also offers twice
the intensity at 200nm.

Figure 10 Spectral output AvaLight-DH-S

98 | info@avantes.com | www.avantes.com

The output of the AvaLight-DH-S is optimized for fibers or bundles up to 600
micrometers. For larger fibers the focal
point is manually adjustable to optimize
the light coupling into your fiber.
The AvaLight-D(H)-S features an integrated
TTL-shutter and filter holder for filters of
up to 50x50x5.0 mm.

AvaLight-DHc
Full-range Compact Light Source
Get the best out of two worlds with the
AvaLight-DHc. It has both a deuterium
light source and a halogen light source,
providing you with adequate light between
200 and 2500 nm for nearly all absorbancechemistry applications. Deuterium emits
light between 200 and 550 nm, where
the halogen takes over up to 2500 nm.
Coupling this lightsource to the rest of
your spectroscopy system is easy with the
SMA connector.

AvaLight-DHc

Optionally the AvaLight-DHc is available ina rack-mountable version, to be used in the
19” rack or the 9.5” desktop system.
• Combined Deuterium-Halogen• Integrated TTL-shutter
A direct-attach cuvette holder CUV-DA (seesection accessories) is available for fluorescence or absorbance measurements.

This light source is recommended in settings with large fiber cables or directattachment to a cuvette holder such as the
CUV-DA, due to its relatively low output
energy. The integrated TTL-shutter makessaving a dark measurement very simple incombination with AvaSoft (extra IC-DB26-2
needed).
