AvaLight-CAL Spectral Calibration
Sources
The AvaLight-CAL-xxx is a spectral calibration lamp. It’s available in MercuryArgon (253.6-922.5 nm), Neon (3371084.5 nm), Argon (696.5-1704 nm)
Zinc (202.5-636.2 nm) and Cadmium
(214.4-643.8 nm) versions. The major
lines including their relative intensity
and structures are shown below.
The AvaLight-CAL-Mini, AvaLight-CALAR-Mini, AvaLight-CAL-Neon-Mini all
come in the Mini-housing. They are
equipped with a connector at the rear
enabling to switch the unit on/off
remotely with a TTL signal.

The AvaLight-CAL can also be delivered in rack-mountable version, to be
integrated in Avantes 19” Rack-mount
or the 9.5” desktop housing. The
PS-12V/1.0A power supply should be
ordered separately.
The standard SMA-905 connector
supplies an easy connection between
the lamp and optical fibers, making the AvaLight-CAL-xxx a low cost
wavelength calibration system for any
fiber-optic spectrometer. AvaSoft-Full
spectroscopy software includes an
automatic recalibration procedure.
