Light Source, Tunable, 300-1800 nm, 300 W Xenon

The TLS130B-300X is part of Oriel’s upgraded Tunable Light Source (TLS) series: a compact, fully assembled illuminator solution. It is a direct replacement for legacy models TLS-300XR and TLS-300XU. Incorporating the redesigned CS130B monochromator, this solution provides the same functionality and compatibility with upgraded performance.

This new generation of TLS includes a manual iris aperture on the output of the system as well as LT10-UADPT, a removable mechanical flange used to couple Oriel Instruments' 1.5 inch products to 1.0 inch for increased compatibility with Newport products.

Wide Tuning Range

The TLS130B-300X is capable of outputting white light or monochromatic light from 300-1800 nm with resolution as great as 0.7 nm (slit size dependent). Photodetectors with NIST traceable calibration are used to measure the output power from 300-1650 nm from each unit manufactured. The TLS130B-250Q is capable of outputting light from 350-1800 nm with spectral output power measured from 350-1650nm. The results are part of the characterization report packaged with each system. These are ideal for researchers or other end users who need a versatile light source that is ready to use out of the box.

Pre-Assembled and Pre-Aligned

The TLS system comes mounted as a single unit to a mounting plate. Optics are pre-aligned. All the necessary interconnection cables are included and all of the hardware is mounted securely to the TLS baseplate.

Includes TracQ Basic Software

The TLS includes the latest, most advanced version of Oriel’s TracQ Basic Instrument Control and Data Acquisition software. Using the 1/8 m Cornerstone 130B Monochromator's USB or RS232 port, TracQ switches the filter wheel position to the correct order sorting filter and the monochromator to the proper grating and position based on the TLS output wavelength chosen by the operator. When used with a compatible Newport Power Meter and Detector, TracQ is a complete radiometry system control software, capable of displaying real time data acquisition. No prior knowledge of software programming is necessary to install or operate TracQ. Some of the scans made possible with the TLS by TracQ include: Time Interval Lamp Radiometry Optical Power Absorbance Transmittance

TLS130B-300X Lamp Installation and Alignment

When the 6258 Xe arc lamp inside the TLS system has reached its end of lifetime and needs replacement, changing the lamp is as simple as removing the old lamp and inserting a new one. Due to small manufacturing differences between lamps, a minor alignment procedure is required when a new lamp is installed into the TLS. This simple installation and alignment procedure can be done in minutes, as demonstrated in the video above.
