module qualifying and testing agencies such as UL, TUV, FSEC and the national laboratories in the United States, India, Italy and Korea use them.
The 6013 is designed for modules up to 6 meters in length and 1.3 meters wide, its solar spectrum is Class A, and intensity uniformity is +- 2%. It has an adjustable pulse length from 20 to 80 milliseconds and also has an adjustable intensity range from 200-1100 watts/m(2).
Roger Little, Chairman and CEO of Spire Corporation, said, “Some thin film module designs are becoming very long compared to their width, for incorporation into roofing materials. These are very different from traditional crystalline modules. Spire has created the SLP series of simulators to handle a wide variety of module shapes and sizes. We have a leadership market share in solar simulators and we intend to keep it by advancing our equipment to satisfy the needs of the industry.”
“Spire was a clear choice as a partner. They have expertise in the thin film industry and have been a great company to work with,” said Eric Culberson, Director of Factory Development for SoloPower. “Spire leads the world in this technology and we felt it was important to work with the world leader in solar metrology on this key piece of our new factory.”

GAO Fiber Optics has released a new fiber optic identifier which identifies calibrated 1550nm and 800nm to 1700nm wavelength signals. It uses macro bending technology to avoid the disruption of network communications that would result from disconnecting or cutting a fiber optic cable for identification and testing. This technologically advanced optical fiber identifier is intended for engineers and technicians to identify dark or live fiber and excessive losses due to the misalignment of mechanical splices or poor connections.
This portable optical fiber identifier, model 820, displays transmission direction, identifies multiple signal frequencies and detects bare fibers, close packed fibers and pigtails. It identifies signal frequencies including 270kHz, 1kHz and 2kHz.
The fiber optic identifier features a five-stage display of signal intensity, two detachable InGaAs detectors, a high sensitivity of -38dBm, a low-voltage indication function and an automatic shutdown function. Normal communications can be maintained while the device is identifying the transmission direction, speed and relative signal strength with only a very small signal loss. The fiber optic identifier offers a results comparison function and has a rechargeable Lithium battery which supports continuous operation for up to four hours.
