Holmium Glass - UV and Visible Wavelength

Product Description:
Like its liquid counterpart, the holmium glass filter produces characteristic peaks that make it suitable for use as a wavelength reference material. As a solid material it is physically more robust than the liquid cell, and can therefore be used in a more demanding environment, providing care is still taken to avoid scratching the surface of the filter. By individually certifying each Starna® filter, uncertainty caused by variations in peak
positions (observed from melt to melt of the glass) is significantly reduced to acceptable levels (± 0.2 nm).

RM-HG
Consists of one filter, 'stress free' mounted in a proprietary NIST design, with certified peak at spectral bandwidth values of 0.10 nm, 0.25 nm, 0.50 nm, 1.00 nm, 1.50 nm, 2.00 nm, and 3.00 nm. (see MSDS)

All Starna® filter Certified Reference Materials are manufactured to the same optical tolerances required by the primary National Physical Reference Laboratories around the World. After assembly under controlled conditions, the filters are then certified by the procedure described below.
Calibration procedure:

Traceability: Primary instrumental wavelength calibration is established using the emission lines from mercury and deuterium sources.

Holmium Glass graph Additional traceability links to NIST primary materials are established using SRM 2034 holmium oxide (4% m/v) in perchloric acid (10% v/v).
Use:

All appropriate fundamental parameters and procedures relating to measurement, handling and storage are fully documented on the certificate supplied with each Certified Reference Material.
