Display colour, intensity and flicker measured with new instruments from Gamma Scientific
Gamma Scientific [ @gammascientific ] has just introduced two new instruments for display measurements. Both offer colour, intensity and flicker testing of all types of LED, LCD, OLED and Quantum Dot screens.
The GS-1160 is the touchscreen-equipped handheld version, while the GS-1160B is designed for the bench and operates in conjunction with PC-based analysis software. The GS-1160 can also be used as a desktop system as it is supported by the same software.
These spectroradiometers, to give them their proper name, deliver faster results with repeatability superior to filter-based instruments. Additional measurement capabilities include gamma, white balance and uniformity.
Data is output on both via USB, or can also be stored on an SD card in the GS-1160 portable model. The GS-1160B can be programmed for custom testing as it has an Application Programming Interface (API). Commands can be sent via RS-232 or the USB.
For detailed specifications and more information about these or other products Gamma Scientific manufacture, please contact us.
New High Brightness Tunable Broadband Light Source
Energetiq‘s new Laser-Driven Tunable Light Source (LDTLS™) is a compact, fully integrated and highly stable tunable broadband light source based on their proven Laser-Driven Light Source (LDLS™) technology. The LDTLS™ utilises the EQ-77 LDLS™ source and features the highest brightness and output flux available in a tunable broadband product.
The water-cooled LDTLS™ offers an extremely long lifetime (approximately 9000 hours between bulb changes) for low cost of ownership. It has high stability, very low noise, and is coupled with a precision high-performance monochromator for accurate wavelength selection and repeatable light output across the range of 300 to 1100 nm.
The spectral resolution can be customised for application specific purposes and ranges in bandwidth from 1 to 10 nm. The fibre coupled output is both flexible and convenient for delivering wavelength selected light to precisely where it is needed. OEMs, please contact us for more information.
Applications
- Optical Testing
- Process Monitoring and Control
- VIS/NIR Spectroscopy
- Scientific Research
- Thin-Film Measurements

Energetiq announce new extremely bright Laser Driven Light Source: The EQ-77
The new EQ-77 Laser Driven Light Source (LDLS™), from Energetiq, is an extremely bright 170 to 2100 nm light source that is specifically designed for critical spectroscopy and imaging applications.
The EQ-77 offers the highest radiance and irradiance available in a truly broadband white light source with a choice of dual-beam output or a single-beam output with retro-reflector.
The EQ-77’s superior spatial and power stability ensures highly repeatable measurements are delivered by a variety of applications in the life and materials sciences, and the proprietary laser-driven bulb technology is ideal for applications requiring a high power lamp with ultra-long life.

Elliot Scientific at QuAMP in Brighton next week
QuAMP
– the International Conference on Quantum, Atomic, Molecular and Plasma Physics – is the première UK conference devoted to these areas of physics. Elliot Scientific is exhibiting at the event, which is hosted by the University of Sussex, from Wednesday, September 2nd. for two days.
QuAMP was founded in 2003 as a joint IOP/EPSRC initiative, and alternates between a Summer School format and an International Conference. This year it will be the latter.

Energetiq® EQ-99CAL Calibrated Laser-Driven Light Source Launched
Traditional calibration sources for radiometric calibration, such as Deuterium, Quartz Tungsten Halogen, and Xenon-arc, all have limitations in spectral range. No single source covers the full UV-Visible range from 200 to 800 nm with output at comparable levels across that spectrum. In addition, traditional sources require recalibration after 100 hours or less of use and lamp replacement typically after 500 hours.
With its revolutionary Laser-Driven Light Source™ (LDLS), Energetiq offers a calibration solution that addresses these limitations and provides a single, broadband, high brightness source for radiometric calibration. The EQ-99CAL combines radiometric performance with long life, longer recalibration intervals, and low cost of ownership. Certification is from the UK’s respected National Physical Laboratory (NPL).
The Energetiq® LDLS™ uses a laser activated plasma to generate light without electrodes to enable extreme high brightness over a broad spectral range, from 170 nm through to visible and beyond, combined with lifetimes an order of magnitude longer than traditional lamps.

Energetiq® Update LDLS™ Series Datasheets
Energetiq® have released a new set of datasheets for their award-winning revolutionary LDLS™ – Laser-Driven Light Source – technology that’s available through Elliot Scientific. Enabling extreme high brightness over a broad spectral range, Energetiq® lamps use laser activated plasma to generate light without electrodes.
Already established in the Semiconductor sector, Lifescience researchers are now benefiting from these point light sources that can offer up to 10x the intensity of traditional lamps, longer working lives, and therefore lower cost of ownership in the long term.

Energetiq® EQ-99 LDLS™ Laser-Driven Light Source Wins 2011 Prism Award
Plasma-based light sources for nanoscale applications are a new way forward in illumination technology…
Researchers using light for imaging and analytical spectroscopy in a variety of applications in the life sciences and materials sciences need light sources capable of providing extremely high brightness across a broad wavelength range.
Traditionally, multiple lamp systems (Tungsten/Halogen, Xenon-arc, Deuterium) have been used to cover this range, but this is costly and optically inefficient. The use of electrodes within these lamps also reduces their operating life, hampers their brightness – with output declining over time – and limits the power needed for the most demanding applications.
To address this problem, Energetiq® has developed a revolutionary single-light source technology called the LDLS™, a Laser-Driven Light Source available through Elliot Scientific, that enables extreme high brightness over a broad spectral range, from 170 nm through to visible and beyond, combined with lifetimes an order of magnitude longer than traditional lamps.
SPIE and Laurin Publishing awarded a 2011 Prism Award for Photonics Innovation in the product category of Other Light Sources to Energetiq® for the EQ-99. The Prism Awards are an annual competition that recognise the best in innovative technology within the multi-billion dollar business of optics and photonics. A panel of independent judges, acknowledged as experts in their respective fields, selected the winners from more than 80 entries.
Energetiq® lamps use laser activated plasma to generate light without electrodes. Already established in the Semiconductor sector, the Life Sciences are yet to benefit from these point light sources that can offer up to 10x the intensity of traditional lamps, longer working lives and therefore lower cost of ownership in the long term.
