Oriel Instruments, a Newport Corporation brand, introduces the new fully integrated TLS Series Tunable Light Source. The compact and easy-to-operate system delivers up to 0.6 nm resolution of monochromatic light in a broad tunable spectral range from 250 nm to 2,400 nm. The TLS systems are an economical solution for researchers who need the flexibility of a modular light source with the simplicity of an integrated system. All TLS Series Tunable Light Sources are factory characterized prior to shipment and come with included spectral output data for reference.

“We took the most commonly requested systems and pre-assembled, aligned and characterized them at the factory. Our customers can now get their tunable light source up and working with minimal set-up time”, says Adnan Adla, Product Manager for the Oriel Product Line at Newport Spectra-Physics in Darmstadt, Germany. “All they need to do is install the lamp and power the system. The included throughput data provides valuable information about the typical output without spending time doing throughput calculations.”

The Oriel TLS systems are mounted on a 12x24” baseplate and feature a research series light source, a motorized filter wheel with four order sorting filters as well as a 1/8m monochromator with a variable slit wheel and two gratings. A collimated output with standard Oriel 1.5 inch series flange allows easy use of different types of optics. The integrated TracQ™ software package for PC-based system command and data acquisition is also part of the standard system.

Oriel Instruments offers three models of fully integrated TLS systems, differing in the lamp type and wattage of 75, 250 or 300 W. All lamps are operated in Research Series Lamp Housings with rear reflectors for maximum light collection, and operated by highly stable Research Series Power Supplies.
