HG-1 Mercury Argon Calibration Source from Ocean Optics

The compact, low-cost HG-1 Mercury Argon Calibration Source is a spectral wavelength calibration source for UV-VIS-Shortwave NIR spectrophotometric systems. The HG-1 produces mercury and argon lines from 253-1700 nm for use in performing fast, reliable spectrometer wavelength calibrations. Easily identifiable mercury and argon spectral emission lines are printed on the HG-1 housing.

The HG-1 Mercury Argon Calibration Source is available for just $399.

With the HG-1 and an Ocean Optics spectrometer, users can perform wavelength calibration with a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or a calculator that performs linear regressions. For technical assistance in performing the latter option, users can consult the Help Files in OOIBase32 Spectrometer Operating Software or click on Calibrating the Wavelength of Your Spectrometer. The HG-1 features an SMA 905 Connector to couple to Ocean Optics spectrometers and fiber optic accessories, including optical fibers. The HG-1 operates with a 12 VDC power supply (included with the unit) or 9V battery (not included).

A European power supply is also available.

User's Tip - Ocean Optics spectrometers are carefully calibrated as part of the company's standard quality assurance process. However, as is the case with all spectrometers, wavelength will drift slightly due to time and environmental conditions. If wavelength accuracy is an important part of your work, consider including calibration spectra with every experiment.
