1.2. Spectral Characteristics

CASM's solar simulator light source represents the closest technical match to the solar spectrum achievable by humanity, achieving a color rendering index up to Ra97. Illuminated objects appear as clearly as under natural daylight. It features stable color temperature, extremely low light decay, no flicker, strong fog penetration, and high energy efficiency.

With a color temperature of 5000K-5500K, visible light accounts for 52.56% of the spectrum, while invisible light makes up 47.44%. The wavelength proportions closely match those of natural sunlight, as shown in the table below:

1.3. Physical characteristics of sunlight simulation source

The sunlight simulation source all use high-purity quartz bulbs with extremely high light transmittance. They are resistant to high temperatures and can be used for a long time at 1100°C without bursting. Their safety performance is higher than that of ceramic glass bulbs.

With excellent natural heat dissipation performance, the integrated The sunlight simulation source (including amplifier, power supply and lamp holder) can keep the temperature as low as 58℃ (room temperature @ 32℃) during long-term operation.

Technical parameters such as spectrum, color temperature, and CRI can be customized.

1.4. Application Areas

2.2 Environmental requirements

A) Work Environment

Temperature -25℃ to +45℃, humidity 5%-95%.

B) Storage environment temperature

Temperature -40℃ to +80℃, humidity 5%-95%.

2.3. Heat dissipation requirements

A) Power supply cooling

If the power supply is external, the power supply shell itself can meet the heat dissipation requirements. If the power supply is built-in, the heat dissipation must meet the requirement that the temperature rise is less than 35°C under a 25W heat source.

B) Power amplifier heat dissipation

The power amplifier (microwave solid-state source) must meet the requirement that the temperature rise is less than 35°C under an 80W heat source.

C) System cooling

When the ambient temperature is 30°C, the shell temperature of the entire Sunlight simulation source system must be kept below 70°C to meet safety regulations.
