Spectral calibration lamps produce narrow, intense lines of ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) wavelengths due to the excitation of various rare gases and metal vapors. These lamps are useful for wavelength calibration of spectroscopic instruments such as monochromators, spectrographs, and spectral radiometers. A complete line of accessories from mounts and holders, to fiber optic adapters and aperture shields is available for use with these lamps.
- Compact and simple tools for wavelength calibration of spectral instruments
- Narrow, discrete UV to IR wavelengths emitted
- AC power supply required for operation
- Full line of mount and filter accessories offered
- Preconfigured kit available See All Features

Features
AC Power Supplies Available
We offer AC power supplies specifically designed for pencil style calibration lamps. These power supplies are required for proper operation of the calibration lamps. AC power supplies have the benefit of being CE compliant and prolonging lamp life, as they operate lamps with small variations in output intensity. There are two models for each lamp type based on geographic location and AC power requirements of that region.
Complete Spectral Calibration Set Offered
For users seeking a complete calibration set for their Oriel monochromator or spectrograph, the 78812 and 78822 Calibration Sets are available. When performing calibration, a light source with at least two spectral lines within the wavelength region of interest is required for proper instrument calibration. Calibration is also required when using the 78855 LineSpec CCD detector and its included Oriel LineSpec software. Each calibration set includes: 6035 HgAr Pencil Calibration Lamp, 6047 (included with 78822) or 6048 (included with 78812) Power Supply for 115 or 230 VAC operation respectively, as well as 78819 Spectral Calibration Lamp Mount.
Three Filter Types Offered
When only certain portions of the lamp's output are required, three different filters are offered to block out the undesired spectral lines. Like the aperture shields, these filters simply slide over the lamp.
Short Wave Filter: Blocks visible wavelengths Long Wavelength Conversion Filter: Attenuates the 253.7 nm Hg emission line and allows transmission from 300-400 nm Glass Safety Filter: Protects the user from the lamp's intense UV spectral lines, completely blocks the 253.7 nm Hg line and attenuates the 312.6 nm line
Monochromator Mount for Spectral Calibration
The model
Three Aperture Shields Available
When the radiation area of the lamp must be limited, Oriel offers three aperture. These aperture shields simply slide over the pencil calibration lamp and limit the lamp's output with the following aperture dimensions:
Pinhole Shield: 0.040 inch (1 mm) diameter Small Aperture Shield: 0.313 x 0.375 inches Large Aperture Shield: 0.188 x 1.50 inches
Pencil Style Calibration Lamp Safety
Pencil style calibration lamps may emit dangerous UV radiation depending on their source type. Ensure that only authorized personnel are in the vicinity of the source, and that they are wearing the necessary safety equipment such as UV protective eyewear, clothing, and gloves.
