SOLAR SIMULATOR

摘要

A solar simulator is provided to feed-forward-control the quantity of current flowing through a lamp according to a predetermined control pattern to stabilize flash light emitted from the lamp to a predetermined luminous intensity. A solar simulator(1) includes a capacitor(26), a lamp(14) emitting flash light according to current supplied from the capacitor, and a controller(12) for feed-forward-controlling the quantity of current flowing through the lamp according to a predetermined pattern such that the flash light maintains a predetermined luminous intensity for a predetermined time.
