LS-1-CAL Series
Calibration Light Sources
Installation and Operation Instructions
Description
The LS-1-CAL and the LS-1-CAL-INT are tungsten halogen light sources that you can use to calibrate
the absolute spectral response of your system. Each light source emits a spectral intensity that is
calibrated by standards that provide traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST).
The bulbs used in the LS-1-CAL and the LS-1-CAL-INT have a bulb life of 900 hours. Each lamp
also features a 12 VDC regulated power supply. The lamps are effective in calibrating the absolute
spectral response of a system from 350-1050 nm. When the lamps are combined with Ocean Optics
software, you can calculate the absolute spectral intensity of an emissive sample. Furthermore, each
light source can be used when calculating absolute irradiance or absolute irradiance and emissive color
(with Ocean Optics software).
