The 94011A by Newport is a Solar Simulator, meticulously designed to cater to research applications that necessitate a highly accurate replication of the sun's spectrum while keeping the field of illumination compact. The simulator employs a 100 W ozone-free xenon lamp, ensuring the production of a precise 1.5 x 1.5 inch collimated beam. A noteworthy feature of the 94011A is its air mass filter, which guarantees Class A spectral performance, adhering to the rigorous 1 SUN irradiance output current applicable standards. Furthermore, researchers can effortlessly swap other mass filters without the need to dismantle and return the entire system, adding to the instrument's flexibility and efficiency.
Engineered to meet the demanding requirements of photovoltaic (PV) researchers, the 94011A consistently delivers high performance throughout its operational life. The simulator comes equipped with a standard AM1.5G filter, generating over 1 SUN irradiance. To ensure continued 1 SUN operation during the 750-hour lifespan of the lamp, the working distance is adjustable, adapting to the aging lamp's characteristics. For seamless integration into various research setups, the 94011A is designed with a straightforward manual slide shutter that allows the beam to be closed off for external trigger applications. Additionally, the instrument boasts an optical rod assembly, enabling vertical translation. These rod assemblies can be conveniently hard mounted to either an inch or metric optical table, baseplate, or breadboard. Moreover, users have the option to employ four mounting feet to situate the simulator on a surface, eliminating the need for the rod assembly if preferred.
