Thorlabs' High-Power Light Sources are solid-state plasma light sources (LIFI®) that combine the best features of solid-state electronics and full spectrum plasma emitters. The HPLS series uses a dielectric resonant cavity to efficiently couple power from a solid-state power amplifier into a high-intensity discharge vessel unlike other electrodeless sources. The results are a long life (>10,000 hours*, or five times longer than a conventional arc lamp) and a complete color spectrum, making this source ideal for applications such as endoscopy, microscopy, and other medical lighting and inspection applications. This unit also offers many additional features including a USB 2.0 control interface and instantaneous intensity dimming.

At the heart of LIFI® is the bulb sub-assembly where a sealed bulb is embedded in a dielectric material. This design is more reliable than conventional light sources that insert degradable electrodes into the bulb. The dielectric material serves two purposes: first as a waveguide for the RF energy transmitted by the RF Power Amplifier Circuit (PA) and second as an electric field concentrator that focuses energy in the bulb. The energy from the electric field rapidly heats the material in the bulb to a plasma state that emits light of high intensity over a full spectrum (see the table above). This long-lived, cost-effective bulb is not replaceable by the user; please contact Tech Support for a replacement quote.

Models listed on this page do not accept a fiber connector. For applications where fiber-coupled light is preferred, Thorlabs offers LIFI-based plasma lamps with an integrated liquid light guide, designed for use with Thorlabs' Liquid Light Guide fibers.

*Note: The lifetime of >10,000 hours is rated as the time when intensity reaches 50% of the original output.

Response from Tim at Thorlabs: The HPLS-30-03 has a specified wavelength range of 350nm to 700nm and most of the output will be in this range. On our “Specs” tab you can note that the output to 3000nm is the integrated IR output power over the spectrum 1400nm-3000nm and is 0.6W. This will be only ~4.5% of the total 350nm-3000nm output. We provide downloadable spectra on the “Graph” tab to 1 micron. I will contact you to provide further information.

Response from Buki at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. For applications that require a liquid light guide interface, we recently released some LIFI-based plasma lamps with an integrated liquid light guide. The web page is linked below and we have also updated the "Overview" section of the web presentation to include this link. http://www.thorlabs.us/NewGroupPage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=5551

Just got my LiFi HPLS. The spectrum is much more suitable to my application than typical tungsten or tungsten / duterium sources. And now i have a nice tan! The output on this thing is amazing. It would be nice if you had an easy way to couple this to a fiber or liquid light guide.

Response from Buki at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments and are sorry you are not satified with the performance of your liquid light guide. It is difficult to collimate an incoherent light source, but we will contact you to discuss this further. Regarding the upgrade, you can return your unit and purchase a newer version. We have contacted you to provide more information and set up the exchange.

Hello, we purchased an HPL-30-04 just a few days ago. Here are some problems we are concerned. Firstly, it's extremely difficult to collimate the output light as it is divergent too fast. If I ma correct, the calculated F number based on the numeric aperature (0.66)is about 0.568. So it's impossible to find a lens with equal or small F number to collimate the light without losing the majority of the output power. Finally we can only get a few hundred of uW per nm. I am wondering how the standard spectro data measured in the Manual in which the power is a few mw per nm. Please give us some instruction about how you get it collimated, re-focuse into monchormeter and then get the standard spectro. The second problem is about the upgraded version with liquid light guide. How long it will come out? Does it will effectively solve the collimation problem? We hope to upgrade this old version we have purchased as soon as possible. For us, without enough power the use of the lamp will be very limitated. So If it cannot be upgraded, we plan to return it. Please e-mail me, Thanks!

Hello! I was wondering if there will also be an upgrade option for existing (old model) HPLS light source to the fiber coupled version? We purchase an HPLS-30-04 some time ago and, to be honest, it is a pain to couple/collimate the output light of this light source. When do you expect this product to be released?

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to kthering: We will release a new version of the HPLS sources with output coupled to a 3mm and a 5 mm diameter liquid light guide within the next week or so. We used liquid light guides due to their increased core size and numerical aperture when compared to fiber optic cables. I will contact you directly for further support.

I am also interested in the HPLS units but our current project requires the use of a SMA 905 fiber optic cable. Is there an estimated release date for the new design that will have a fiber adapter?

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to branderson: Thank you very much for contacting us. The current design of of the HPLS does not feature a fiber or liquid light guide (LLG) adapter. However, we are working on the design of a new series of HPLS that will feature LLG-coupled output. Since the output of the HPLS can get quite hot, we will also integrate temperature control at the LLG interface. The HPLS will also feature shutter control. I will keep you updated of the status of this project, as it is still in the development stage. Regarding bulb replacement, we do not offer replacement modules, since the design of the lamp is different from that of conventional light sources. We would have to take the unit back to be fitted with a new module. I will contact you directly for further support.

I am interested in the HPLS-30-03 and I have two questions: 1. Is there a fiber adapter for it so it can be coupled into a fiber? 2. When the bulb burns out, is it possible to buy a replacement, or do you need to buy an entirely new unit? Customer Email: branderson@wsu.edu This customer would like to be contacted.

Response from Buki at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. We have contacted you to find out which light source you are interested in so we can provide you with volume pricing. Regarding the hot mirror to deplete the NIR light, it is not possible to mount the mirror within the unit but you can add one at the output port. Please contact TechSupport@thorlabs.com if you have more questions about this matter.

Hello, is volume pricing available on this light source (300 unit quantity)? Is it possible to mount a hot mirror inside the unit to further deplete NIR light, or would I need to do this outside the unit?

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to elyada: Thank you very much for your interest in our products. Although we have built several prototypes of the HPLS with liquid light guide output, we are currently working on integrating an electro-mechanical shutter into the unit. This feature adds protection to the user from the high intensity and also prevents potential damage to biological samples from photobleaching and overexposure. We hope for this project to culminate within the next 12 weeks or so. I will contact you directly and keep you updated of the status.

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to jycheng: Thank you for your feedback. The current design of the HPLS-30-03 only allows for freespace output. At its focus point, the output from the lamp can get very hot, and can easily damage fiber bundles or liquid light guides. We are currently developing a new version of the HPLS sources with output coupled to a liquid light guide. These will be temperature controlled, and will be optimized for high coupling efficiency. I will contact you directly with more information.

About the HPLS-30-03. How do I output the light. Is a fiber included with the light source?

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to Jia Jingyu: I will send you spectral data in Excel format for all the HPLS sources. We will also post this information on the web shortly. In order to measure the intensity stability, you can use a thermopyle sensor along with a power meter, and log the power fluctuation over time. Also, the output of the unit is not collimated, it is focused. The aperture diameter is 16 mm, and the light focues 7.4 mm away from the tip of the cone (for the 02 and 03 units), and 8.36 mm (for 04 unit).

It appears that there is still apprecible optical power outside the 350 to 850 nm window that is shown on the spectral plots the reside on the Plots tab, it would be useful to know how much total energy is in the UV and in the IR. In addition a plot of the spectrum in these two regions would be very useful. For some applications i will need to block the unwanted light and in others i would want to utilizes these two regions.

A response from Adam at Thorlabs: Please note that we have added the units to the top graph. They were arbitrary units as it was an intensity measurement. We are still planning to add more data on the compressed scaled data, but are cross checking the current data we have to make sure it is accurate. We hope to have this up on the web soon.

A response from Adam at Thorlabs: The plots were taken without temperature with the laser sitting on a bench table. Nine spectral response plots were taken at intervals from 1/4 hr up to 24 hrs. These 9 plots are then subtracted from the reference to show stability up to a 24 hour period. We have asked our engineers about the units and are waiting to hear back. In regards to the scaling, we hope to add data that is not compressed to a few millimeters. This should be up on the web soon.

Long term plots need a little more details, what are the conditions under which these plots are taken. Is each plot a different unit as you move down the page from plot to plot, and what are the groups of lines at the bottom of each plot, are these two spectral plots that were subtracted from the reference trace. If there are having them on another scale that doesnt compress the data all down to a few millimeters would seem more reasonable.
