The Perkin Elmer Lambda 950 UV-VIS is a UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer. The Perkin Elmer Lambda 950 UV-VIS has a double-beam, double-monochromator, all-reflecting optical system. The Perkin Elmer Lambda 950 UV-VIS operates across a usable wavelength range of 200 nm to 2500 nm.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
The Lambda 950 uses deuterium and tungsten-halogen light sources that automatically switch during monochromator slewing, along with programmed optical filters that also change automatically.[1]
Spectral bandwidth is selectable from 0.1 nm to 5.0 nm in 0.01 nm increments.[1]
Interchangeable snap-in modules accommodate varied sample types, and a Universal Reflectance Accessory allows angle-resolved measurements from 8° to 65° with a 0.5° step size.[2]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn a fab environment, it is typically employed for off-line metrology and evaluation of optical coatings, thin films, and substrates to verify spectral properties such as reflectance, transmittance, and bandgap.
Applications
Applications include glancing reflectance measurement of glass and other optical components, quantification of colored materials, identification of material concentration via the Beer-Lambert law, and determination of semiconductor bandgap.[2]
The instrument supports total, diffuse, and specular transmission and reflectance measurements, and is used in materials science, pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, academic research, and food and agriculture analysis.[1]
