Solar simulator
Abstract:
Xenon light emitted from a xenon light source heads for a wavelength-selecting mirror through a taper coupler and an air mass filter. The wavelength-selecting mirror reflects a short wavelength component of the xenon light and emits the short wavelength component to a taper member. Halogen light emitted from a halogen light source heads for a wavelength-selecting mirror through a taper coupler and a reflecting mirror. The wavelength-selecting mirror transmits a long wavelength component of the halogen light and emits the long wavelength component to the taper member. The taper member has width gradually decreasing from an entrance plane for light to an exit plane for the light. The light emitted from the taper member is changed so that a radiation directivity of a component originating from the xenon light becomes similar to a radiation directivity of a component originating from the halogen light. This makes it possible to provide a solar simulator performing irradiation of artificial sunlight having uniform illumination distribution onto an irradiation-target surface.
