HELIOS®Plus Blue Sun Sources

The HELIOS®Plus-AMA, A-Family systems represent the pinnacle of uniform source technology. Designed specifically to achieve precise calibration and characterization of hyperspectral and multispectral sensors. This approach enables remote sensing devices to operate at their highest performance levels possible. 

BlueSun provides strong blue spectrum output with excellent temporal stability. Its smooth visible spectrum enables reliable long-term testing and minimizes spectral mismatch. 

  • Ultra stable Solar-like spectrum 
  • Minimized spectral gradients 
  • Scalable for size and dynamic range 
  • Whisper quiet closed loop thermal control 

Applications 

  • Hyperspectral Imager Calibration: IEEE4001-2025 Ready 
  • Multispectral Imager Calibration 
  • Solar Projection Source 
  • Camera Flat- fielding 
  • Camera Response Calibration 
  • Ocean Color Measurements 

Value: 

  • Flexible for R&D and lab testing 
  • Includes Labsphere’s CDS series spectrometer corrected for spectral stray light 
  • Easy to configure 
  • Provides precise absolute characterization
