plasma light sources - XWS-65 - broadband light source

- Extra wide spectral range
- Ultra high brightness
- High stability
- Long lifetime

Description

In XWS sources, plasma emits light due to the interaction between a continuous energy input from a laser and the gas medium used (optical discharge). These light sources have been developed as a replacement for traditional gas discharge lamps (Xenon, Deuterium, Tungsten, etc.) and LEDs. Compared to these, XWS sources have a wider spectral range and higher spectral brightness.
