Where to Buy White Light Sources

Our fiber-coupled light sources LS-HP1, LS-WL1, LS-BB1 and LS-MC1 are perfect sources for every lab:

• The laser-pumped white light source LS-WL1 owes its extremely high luminance to two blue laser diodes that pump a ceramic phosphor converter.
• Our latest light source is the LS-HP1 high-power light source. It is available in a monochromatic and a white light version and is exceptionally powerful.
• Furthermore, our broadband LED light source LS-BB1 covers the large spectrum from VIS to NIR with a single LED, making it a real alternative to halogen-based light sources.
• The LS-MC1 series ensures high luminance and supports many different wavelengths.

Iceblink is a supercontinuum fiber laser covering the 450–2300 nm spectral range with 3 W of average power and superior stability (<0.5% std. dev.). It is a very versatile white light source with a world of applications in the scientific and industrial sectors, including absorption/transmission measurements for material characterization, VIS, NIR, IR spectroscopy, single molecule spectroscopy, and fluorescence excitation. The spatial coherence and broad spectrum of Iceblink make it a great alternative to classic lamps, single-line lasers, LEDs, and ASE sources.

ELECTRO VIS is the latest LEUKOS development. Optimized for long lifetime, power in the visible and ease of use, ELECTROVIS is a high end, short-pulse high-tech device. Ideal for applications where reliability is essential while cost matters.

Imagine the brightness of a laser with the spectrum of a lamp. Our turnkey SuperK white light lasers deliver bright diffraction-limited light from 390–2400 nm. Fiber delivered and collimated. They have a lifetime of several thousand hours and high power output from 390 to 2400 nm. They are robust and reliable, built for intensive use, and can replace multiple single-line lasers and broadband sources like ASE sources, SLEDs, and lamps.

Thorlabs manufacturers multiple white light sources including incoherent lamps as well as laser systems for the VIS-NIR and mid-IR spectral regions. Our VIS-NIR supercontinuum generation kit can be used with an existing femtosecond pump laser, while our SC4500 mid-IR supercontinuum laser offers an all-fiber turn-key solution providing coverage from 1.3 – 4.5 µm.
