Tunable KiloArc

Tunable 1000W Xe Light Source

The Tunable KiloArc™ illuminator is the ultimate tunable light source for applications that require high power output with over 100 mW. Combined with HORIBA’s available accessories, including our full line of monochromators and sample compartments, a specialized setup can be created for any experimental requirement.

The Tunable KiloArc illumination system is perfect for applications such as

  • Detector calibration
  • Solar Simulators
  • Photochemistry
  • Photo-Activation
  • Photobiology
  • Photovoltaics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Optical Teaching Labs
  • Dermatology
Segment: Scientific
Manufacturing Company: HORIBA Scientific

Key Benefits of the Tunable KiloArc™ Illuminator

  • Continuously tunable from 180 nm to 24 microns.
  • Hundreds of Milliwatts of energy.
  • Push button start and simple dial the wavelength tunability.
  • No special cooling or ozone venting required.
  • An Illuminator that is so easy to use, anyone can operate it.
