A tunable light source is a versatile instrument designed to deliver optical radiation with user-defined wavelength and bandwidth, offering precise control for diverse applications. Its key characteristic is the reliable adjustment of output light, enabling customized illumination conditions. For seamless integration into optical systems or test setups, these sources are typically coupled with multimode fibers or liquid light guides. These components act as flexible conduits, efficiently channeling the tailored light to the target.
Tunable light sources are indispensable tools in photonics and materials science, offering precise control over the output wavelength. This flexibility enables a wide range of critical applications, including:
CMOS/CCD Quantum Efficiency and Spectral Response Measurements
Solar Cell Quantum Efficiency Testing
Detector Response Characterization
Fluorescence Excitation
Photochemical Research
