LDLS EQ99 Prism Award Winner - Watch Demonstration
The compact LDLS EQ-99 is an ultra-high brightness, high stability broadband source that is specifically designed for demanding imaging and spectroscopy applications. The EQ-99 offers excellent spatial and power stability for highly repeatable measurements across the broad spectrum. Utilizing a proprietary laser- driven bulb technology*, the EQ-99 is ideal for applications requiring ultra-long lamp life. The EQ-99 is available with a range of free-space broadband reflective coupling optics to match the ~100µm plasma size to the customers instrument or application. With its high brightness, small plasma, the EQ-99 is particularly well suited to applications using narrow spectrometer slits, small diameter optical fibers or other small étendue optics.
