AvaLight-D(H)-S: High-Performance Deuterium Halogen Illumination

The AvaLight-DH-S is Avantes' most powerful deuterium-halogen source. While it shares the dual deuterium and halogen functionality of the DHc, the DH-S offers 35 times more halogen output and up to 300 times more deuterium power.

It has a prominent 656 nm deuterium peak, which may limit dynamic range (consider the AvaLight-DH-S-BAL for an alternative). The DH-S also includes a focusing lens assembly to maximize the potential and fit of the fiber in question.

The AvaLight-D-S is a deuterium-only light source, making it a great option for measurements in the UV range of 190 to 400 nm. The AvaLight-D-S-DUV version starts even lower at 175 nm for deep-UV experiments. This version also offers two times the intensity at 200 nm.

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 ensure optimal light coupling.

Additionally, the AvaLight-D(H)-S includes an integrated TTL shutter and a filter holder that is compatible with filters up to 50 x 50 x 5.0 mm.
