The mirror module blocks the heat and stray light

The LAX-C100 is the reasonable xenon light source with xenon 100W lamp.
The proprietary mirror module blocks the heat and stray light, and only desired wavelength range is obtainable.

The LAX-C100 can also emit monochromatic light by the bandpass filter.
*Mirror module, filter holder and optical filters are optional.

Monochromatic light output by optical filter

  • Bright monochromatic light
  • Instead of multiple wavelength laser
  • Output beam is brighter than monochromator

UV light output without IR heat

  • Bright UV light
  • It is also possible to obtain the desirable UV wavelength range with
    the combination of optical filters
product Mirror Module
Mirror Module (Option)

This sophisticated optical unit consists of four cold mirrors to block unwanted energy from xenon lamp and only desired throughput is obtainable. The LAX-C100 offers 4 types of mirror module.
