Request InfoMKS/NewportSTRATFORD, Conn., Jan. 19, 2009 – Newport Corp. has announced the addition of the Oriel Sol3A solar simulators to its line of photovoltaic test and measurement products. The large-area, continuous-wave sources use a xenon lamp and feature a proprietary filter to meet all three Class A performance parameters – spectral match, nonuniformity of irradiance and temporal instability of irradiance – without compromising the 1-sun output power. Each version is certified to the IEC 60904-9 2007 edition, JIS C 8912 and ASTM E 927-05 standards. The simulators are available in 2 × 2, 4 × 4, 6 × 6 and 8 × 8-in. sizes, making them...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra October 2023 IssueEmissions Analytics Lidar PlatformQuantum Gas Lidar and the QLM Cloud from QLM Technology Ltd. is a comprehensive solution for emissions measurement and quantification.
