Fiber-coupled LED light sources of Prizmatix
The fiber-coupled LED light sources from Prizmatix are an excellent replacement for lasers in many applications such as spectroscopy, optogenetics or crosslinking.
Optimized for fiber-coupling and highest optical performance, the light sources achieve amazing optical powers of up to 1100 mW after a 1 m long fiber (NA 0.63, 1500 µm core). Thanks to the compact design with the low-noise controller integrated into the housing, these light sources can be used almost anywhere and can be easily integrated as OEM components.
The LED light sources offer a variety of control options for power regulation such as an analog input, a TTL input, control via USB or the classical manual control via a potentiometer. Especially the TTL input makes these light sources an optimal solution for measurements with fiber-coupled spectrometers, for example in external trigger mode.
The main features of the fiber-coupled LED light sources are:
- Optimized for fiber coupling and highest optical power
- Various control options (analog, TTL, USB, potentiometer, depending on model)
- USB control compatible with µManager, Labview, Matlab and many more
- Analog and TTL inputs are optically isolated
- Low-noise controllers (e.g. FC-LED < 0.05% RMS)
- Long lifetime, typically >10,000 hours
- SMA connector
- Each LED comes with a test report
