Solar simulators provide the closest spectral match to the solar spectrum available from any source. While not exact, the match is better than needed for most applications. The simulator produces a continuous output with a solar-like spectrum in a uniform, collimated beam. Beam collimation simulates the direct terrestrial beam and allows for characterization of radiation induced phenomena. UV-enhanced solar simulators are useful for work requiring an intense UV source without the complications of VIS and IR heating. This is especially important for biological work on live subjects. UV-enhanced simulators are like full spectrum solar simulators; however, their spectral distribution is modified to reduce the radiation in the VIS and IR regions of the spectrum.
