High Brightness, Broadband Light Source with Fiber-Coupled Output
EQ-99XFC LDLS Laser-Driven Light Source
Advanced imaging & analytical spectroscopy applications in the life sciences and materials sciences need light sources capable of providing extremely high brightness across a broad wavelength range. Traditionally, multiple lamps (Halogen/Tungsten, Xenon-arc, Deuterium) have been used to cover this broad spectral range. However, combining multiple lamps is costly and optically inefficient, and the use of electrodes within these lamps limits their ability to achieve the high brightness or power needed for the most demanding applications. Furthermore, traditional electrode-driven light sources have short life, need to be changed frequently, and during their life the lamp output declines constantly. To address these problems, Energetiq has developed a revolutionary single-light source technology called the LDLS™ Laser-Driven Light Source that enables extreme high brightness with a relatively flat spectrum, from deep ultraviolet through visible into the near infrared, combined with life-time an order of magnitude longer than traditional lamps.
The LDLS EQ-99XFC has integrated collection optics that allow greater ease of use for those needing a fiber connection. The high performance ellipsoidal collector ensures that the ultra-high brightness light and power stability are maintained across the broad spectrum, from 190nm to 2100nm, and efficiently coupled into small diameter optical fibers. Proprietary Fiber-Protection Technology™ enhances DUV performance and significantly extends fiber life by reducing the effects of solarization. Utilizing a patented laser-driven bulb technology* and ultra-clean construction, the EQ-99XFC is ideal for applications requiring ultra-long lamp life combined with high broadband brightness.
Broadband Light, High Brightness, Calibration Source
EQ-99CAL Broadband, High Brightness Calibration Source
Traditional calibration sources for radiometric calibration, such as Deuterium, Quartz Tungsten Halogen, and Xenon-arc, all have limitations in spectral range. No one source covers the full UV-Visible range from 200nm-800nm with output at comparable levels across that spectrum. In addition, traditional sources require recalibration after 100 hours or less of use and lamp replacement typically after 500 hours. With its revolutionary Laser-Driven Light Source™ (LDLS), Energetiq offers a calibration solution that addresses these limitations and provides a single, broadband, high brightness source for radiometric calibration.
The EQ-99CAL combines radiometric performance with long life, longer recalibration intervals, and low cost of ownership. Calibrations made in the 350nm range are particularly challenging with Deuterium and Quartz Tungsten Halogen lamps. In the case of Deuterium lamps at 350nm, the irradiance is approximately an order of magnitude lower than its value in the deep UV at 200nm. Similarly, Quartz Tungsten Halogen lamps at 350nm are more than an order of magnitude lower in irradiance compared to their value in the visible range. Additionally, it is frequently problematic to have the two separately calibrated lamps agree at the overlapping wavelengths, adding additional uncertainty. With the LDLS, a single calibrated light source covers the whole range from 200nm to 800nm, and at 350nm exhibits an irradiance an order of magnitude higher than traditional calibrated Deuterium and Quartz Tungsten Halogen lamps.
Energetiq’s EQ-99CAL product is calibrated at our calibration partner, Bentham Instruments, Ltd. Bentham’s calibration standards are traceable to the National Physical Laboratory (UK). A certificate of calibration, which comprises the calibration data and the uncertainty analysis, is included with each EQ-99CAL. Sample calibration reports are available upon request.

The AvaSpec-ULS2048x64TEC-EVO is an updated version of our AvaSpec-ULS2048x64TEC spectrometer with improved electronics and cooling.
This instrument enhances the SensLine series with its cooled, back-thinned detector. The back-thinned detector has a high level of sensitivity in the UV and IR regions. The 64-pixel height (0.89 mm) enables catching as many photons as possible, while the cooling allows for long integration times of up to 120 seconds with low noise levels.
The instrument features a Peltier cooling device integrated into our exclusive ultra-low stray-light optical bench, which can reduce the temperature of the CCD chip to -30°C against ambient, significantly improving the dark baseline and PRNU level. The detector cooling also reduces the dark noise by a factor of 2-3.
Combining exceptional quantum efficiency with high-speed communication is the value proposition of the AvaSpec-ULS2048XL EVO spectrometer. Unlike many back-thinned CCD spectrometers with two-dimensional arrays, the ULS2048XL-EVO has large monolithic pixels of 14×500 microns with exceptional efficiency in the UV range, from 200 to 400 nm, and the NIR range, from 950 to 1160 nm.
The instrument also has an electronic shutter, which enables integration times as low as 2 microseconds. To further enhance sensitivity, a detector collection lens is available, which improves sensitivity up to 60% when combined with larger core fibers.
For high-sensitivity applications where high resolution is not of paramount concern, the AvaSpec-HS2048XL-EVO is an exceptional instrument.
Featuring Avantes’ HS optical bench, which has a full 0.22 numerical aperture for superior throughput, the AvaSpec-HS2048XL has a back-thinned CCD detector with 2048 pixels measuring 14×500 microns.
The AvaSpec-HS2048XL-EVO uses our AS-7010 electronics board offering USB3 (10 times faster than USB2), Gigabit Ethernet, and better signal processing.
Alongside the cooled AvaSpec-ULS2048x64TEC-EVO with a low-noise detector, Avantes also offers the uncooled AvaSpec-ULS2048x64-EVO. With its standard 2048×64 back-thinned detector, this spectrometer is perfect for less demanding applications in the UV and NIR ranges.
The cooling option is often unnecessary for applications that require integration times lower than 2 seconds. For example, this uncooled AvaSpec-ULS2048x64-EVO has an established track record in various DOAS(Differential optical absorption spectroscopy) applications worldwide because of its high UV response and 0.9mm detector height that enables detecting the wavelengths of interest.
Options include an order-sorting filter to reduce second-order effects and purge ports for deep-UV measurements. The AvaSpec-ULS2048x64-EVO comes with a wide range of slit sizes and gratings and can be configured with SMA or FC/PC fiber-optic entrance connectors.
The AvaSpec-ULS2048x64-EVO uses the AS-7010 electronics board offering USB3 (10 times faster than USB2), Gigabit Ethernet, and better signal processing.
Connection to your PC is handled via USB3 connection or Ethernet, delivering a scan every two milliseconds. The instrument comes complete with AvaSoft-Basic software, a USB cable, and an extensive manual.
