SPECTRA OF OTHER SOURCES


This web page will be for nothing but spectra of various artificial and natural light sources other than LEDs and lasers - they have their own web pages here.
Ocean Optics USB2000 Spectrometer donated by P.L.
As of 10-10-07, I've been using a PC2000-ISA Spectrometer from Ocean Optics that I received several years ago, but that I didn't have a home for until now.
As of 03-08-07, I once again have the USB2000 spectrometer, enabling color spectra again.

I have been asked on a number of occasions to furnish a spectrum of sunlight; where I'm at that is simply not possible.
Not unfiltered sunlight at noon near summer solstice anyway.

EL (ELECTROLUMINISCENT):

Spectrographic plot
Spectrographic analysis of a green electroluminiscent nightlight, GE brand.
Plot is so low because the intensity of the generated light is so low.



OTHER:

Spectrum taken through window glass and a plastic positive (magnifying) lens.
Plot is low because I was unable to expose the spectrometer's sensor to sufficient radiation from the lamp.
