Features

High Output 150 W Lamp (3200 K Color Temp)
1000:1 Variable Intensity Control (0-100%)
Rugged Design with Thermal Switch & Safety Cutoff
Includes: Lamp, Bulb, 36" (91 cm), Ø1/4" Fiber Bundle & Adapter Chuck

Our 150 W halogen OSL light source is designed to deliver strong, cool light for microscopy and lab applications. The unit features a 150 W halogen lamp with a 1000:1 exponentially variable control. Each unit is shipped complete with a Ø1/4", 36" (91 cm) long fiber bundle and a fiber adapter chuck. The lamp is available in either 110 V (OSL1) or 230 V (OSL1-EC) CE compliant versions. To mount the fiber, we recommend using our AD8F mounting adapter, which allows easy integration of the fiber bundle into any of our SM1 compatible mounting hardware. In addition, Thorlabs also offers intense white light LED arrays, single emitter LEDs, collimated multi-emitter LEDs, and uncollimated multi-emitter LEDs.

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to last poster: Thank you for your feedback. We have added the light output spec in lux.

A response from Adam at Thorlabs to dellapir: We took one from stock and measured the power. The minimum power is 50mW and the maximum power is 1.8W. The change in the power is exponetial as you rotate the potentiometer.

Mr./Mrs: We´ve bought your OSL1-EC lamp with optical fiber. As you know it is possible to change the intensity of the lamp, and this is the information that we need. Can you tell us what the minimum and maximum intensity emitted by the lamp? The change , which is possible using the potentiometer marked on the lamp, is a linear or exponential? Thank you!!! Best regards. Monica Della Pirriera MNT group Univeridad Poltecnica de Cataluña

A response from Adam at Thorlabs: I would like to discuss this further with you. I will send you an email to try and find out the exact parameters that you are looking for.

Hi, i´m using your lamp in the "Opto Electronic Lab of UNIVERSIDAD DE CONCEPCION, CHILE", and i would like to know more specifications about the "High-Intensity Fiber Light Source OSL1-EC", like SNR coefficient and another kind of parameters. Thus, i could add more accuracy to my thesis measurements. Thanks a lot. Juan Pablo Muñoz Carmona. Thesis Student. Civil Engineering Electronics. Universidad de Concepción.

A reply from Jens at Thorlabs: coupling of this 150W light source into a single mode fiber is virtually impossible. We might be able to offer a different solution if we get additional information regarding your setup. I will contact you directly for that.

what adapter do i use to couple the SMF(core 9um)?

Poster: jens	Posted Date: 2009-05-18 17:45:55.0
An answer from Jens at Thorlabs: the output power at 1100nm is virtually zero. We probably can offer a custom solution where we would replace the light bulb inside the unit. We will contact you with a quotation directly. As for the collimation you could try using a pinhole but if you need better collimation since you may want to guide the light over a longer distance a plano-concave singlet lens such as our BK7 lens LA1540 can be used. The lens will need to be place 15mm in front of the output. The output fiber bundle can be hold in place using our AD12F adapter. Using that adapter the fiber end can be mounted in a cage system using cage plate CP02. We will contact you directly as soon as possible.

Do you have any accessories for this light source to have a parallel output beam or a focused beam? What is the intensity of the output light at 1100nm?

A response from Tyler at Thorlabs to sai: The blackbody radiation equation shown on the specs tab is really only intended to give the user of an OSL1 an idea of the spectral distribution of the light emitted from the halogen lamp. In reality, the lamp is not a perfect blackbody source and certainly the glass bulb and MM fiber bundle will have some absorption profile that will modify the emitted intensity versus wavelength even further from an ideal blackbody source.

I have a question regarding the formula you have used to calculate the intensity in the "specs" tab. Will this give me power density (Watts per cubic meter)? If yes, can you please tell me how to find the intensity in terms of Power/ Surface area (Watts per sq meter)? Thanks!

A response from Tyler at Thorlabs to smitachat2001: Thank you for your interest in the OSL1. There is no specific reason why the OSL1 halogen lamp cannot be left on continuously. The housing will get quite warm over time but if the unit is in a room temperature environment and the airflow to the cooling fan is not blocked the lamp will function properly. The one drawback to using the lamp continuously is that the hotter the lamp is the shorter its lifetime so for continuous use it might be wise to improve the cooling of the lamp.

It is certainly usefull product but it looks as if they are not meant to be used for 24 hours, which makes them restricted for many lab purposes.

A response from Tyler at Thorlabs to leosis: I have added a plot of the theoretical emission intensity as a function of wavelength to the "Specs" tab. The light will appear white, but as you can see from the plot, the emission intensity will peak near 910 nm when the unit is at maximum power.

i want to know the operating wavelengt of this product. please, reply to me about this information.

A response from Tyler at Thorlabs: The divergence angle of the fiber bundle is not a controlled specification and as a result cannot be guaranteed. However, I tested a OSL1 and measured a divergence angle of 33 degrees (This was determined by measuring the spot diameter at several distances from the fiber bundle tip and fitting the data to a straight line. The inverse tangent of the slope of the fit line was 33 degrees.)

Whats the divergence angle of the fiber bundle at the output tip?
