The invention provides a spectra
irradiance standard
light source which is used for radiometric calibrations of
ultraviolet optical instruments, which comprises a
light source component, a lifting holdfast, a collimating component, and a lamp chamber, wherein the front end of the lamp chamber is provided with a window which is used for outputting
xenon lamp radiations, a
xenon lamp power supply is connected with a
xenon lamp electrically, a port of a cylinder
lens hood is communicated and installed concentrically with the window which is on the lamp chamber, a piece of lens and a diaphragm are arranged in turn on a
xenon lamp radiation light path inside the
lens hood, the
xenon lamp is located on the focus of the lens, the diaphragm is located on the other side, the collimating component and the lamp chamber are installed commonly on the lifting holdfast, an extra-quiet
xenon lamp which is selected by the invention has a short arc xenon lamp which has a comparatively strong
radiation strength in an
ultraviolet wave band, the invention also adopts a high durable
cathode which enables that arc points of the xenon lamp has no drifts and fluctuations , the
light source can be used for
ultraviolet wave band200-2000nm, visible
wave band, and near
infrared wave band, in particular for the ultraviolet wave band with a wave length less than 400nm, and
signal-to-
noise ratios of calibrations can be increased effectively due to
high irradiance.
