Tungsten Light Source

Tungsten Halogen Light Source for VIS-NIR and NIR Spectroscopy

Tungsten halogen light sources are broadband lamps widely used in visible and near-infrared spectroscopy. They generate continuous light through a heated tungsten filament inside a halogen-filled quartz envelope, making them suitable for absorbance, transmittance, reflectance, light source characterization and NIR spectral measurement.
Brolight tungsten light sources are designed for laboratory spectroscopy, photonics experiments, material testing and optical system integration. With stable output, high brightness and optional fan cooling or adjustable intensity, they can be paired with spectrometers, optical fibers, probes and sampling accessories to build complete measurement setups.

How Does a Tungsten Light Source Work?

Electric Current → Heated Tungsten Filament → Broadband Radiation → Quartz Halogen Envelope → Stable VIS-NIR Output

A tungsten light source works by passing electric current through a tungsten filament. As the filament heats up, it emits broadband radiation. In a tungsten halogen lamp, halogen gas inside the quartz envelope helps reduce filament material loss and supports more stable operation. The output of a tungsten halogen light source is continuous and smooth, which makes it useful for spectroscopy systems that need broadband illumination instead of a narrow single-wavelength source. Because the lamp generates heat during operation, proper cooling and stable power control are important for measurement repeatability.
