RS-10D Calibration Light Source

Precision source of radiant flux, used primarily to calibrate light measuring instrumentation and as a stimuli to measure detection devices. Near-constant radiant flux output is achieved via exclusive use of tungsten-halogen lamps. Ultra-stable, constant-current supplies utilize precision shunt-current measurement and comparison circuits built into the source housing.

RS-12 Calibration Light Source

Versatile, NIST-traceable calibration light source that can be used as a white-light standard of spectral radiance or luminance. Filter/aperture assembly allows the RS-12 to be employed as an NVIS display simulation source for approximating a green cockpit display, with optimal near-infrared output against which a spectroradiometer or radiometer can be calibrated.

Model 5000 Standard Lamp

Provides absolute calibration of spectral irradiance from 250 nm to 2.5 microns. This tungsten-halogen lamp standard bears the ANSI designation of FEL. It has been selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to replace the 1000-watt, DXW standard. It is calibrated to the 1973 NIST spectral irradiance scale, while the DXW standard is calibrated to the 1965 NIST Scale.

RS-15 Total Flux Calibration Light Source

Gamma Scientific’s RS-15 total flux calibration light source is a precision source of total radiant flux, used primarily to calibrate integrating spheres, light measuring instrumentation and as stimuli to measure detection devices. Lamps are available from 5W-200W.

Digital Uniform Light Sources

Gamma Scientific’s line of Eigenlite™ Digital Uniform Light Sources combine light-emitting diodes (LED) with linear programmable drive circuitry and active optical feedback to provide precisely controllable, programmable light output. Eigenlite™ sources exhibit excellent linearity, repeatability, and long-term stability.

RS-50 Projection Light Source

Precision source of radiant flux, used primarily to calibrate light-measuring instrumentation and as stimuli to measure detection devices. Near-constant radiant flux output is achieved via exclusive use of tungsten-halogen lamps. Ultra-stable, constant-current supplies utilize precision shunt-current measurement and comparison circuits built into the source housing.
