About This Manual Document Purpose and Intended Audience This document provides you with an installation section to get your system up and running, basic information about the calibration light source, and a log to save the time of the light source’s use. Document Summary Chapter Description...
About This Manual Warranty Our 3-Year Warranty covers Ocean Optics miniature fiber-optic spectrometers, spectral sensors, light sources and sampling accessories – regardless of the application – from manufacturing defects. It also covers fibers and probes for a full 12 months: http://oceanoptics.com/services/exclusive-3-year- warranty/.
Chapter 1 Setup Overview The DH-3 Series of Halogen Calibrated Light Sources for the UV-VIS-Shortwave NIR (230nm-1100nm) is a deuterium and halogen light source that provides known absolute intensity values at several wavelengths, expressed in µW/cm²/nm. Since the spectral intensity of the DH-3 Series can be traced to an intensity standard traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it is specifically designed for calibrating the absolute spectral response of your system.
1: Setup Models Available DH-3 Series light source models are available in regular (230 – 1100 nm) and extended (EXT models) (230 – 2400 nm) wavelength ranges. The following models are available in the DH-3 Series: Model Calibrated Wavelength Range Maximum Shutter? Uncertainty Level...
1: Setup Connecting a Spectrometer to the DH-3 Before using a DH-3 Series light source for the first time, check for transport damage. Be sure to adhere to all warnings on the unit and in this operational manual. Make sure you have your DH-3 light source, your spectrometer, a CC-3 cosine-corrected irradiance probe, and Ocean Optics spectrometer operating software.
Chapter 2 DH-3 Specifications This section provides information on the operating environment and specifications of the DH-3 Series light sources. Operating Environment The following table provides information on optimizing the operating environment of your DH-3 calibration light source. Operating Environment The DH-3 Unit .
Appendix A Calibration Basics Overview Calibrated systems, independent of the particular calibrated unit, are always traceable to national standards. A calibrated item is comparable to all calibrated items which are calibrated for the same calibrated unit. Each measurement result has an uncertainty, and the level of uncertainty is given either for one single standard deviation (k = 1) or for two standard deviations (k = 2), which is often named as expanded uncertainty.

A: Calibration Basics Ocean Optics provides a calibration of the DH-3 plus-CAL on an absolute irradiance scale in µW/nm/cm^2. The sources of uncertainties taken into account are listed below in the example. The actual values are listed in the individual calibration certificate for your light source. The calibration certificate contains more detailed information.
