yes its the second one! I looked inside and there are some lenses of some kind. I think they are design for a much bigger fiber though. My lab-mate thinks we need a high quality aspheric lens to focus the light into the tiny 10 micron fiber. It looks like we're going to be using this lamp...

there might be a collimator or some lens inside the bulb. I do get some output from the fiber that I can read on the computer after the spectrograph, but it is dim. I guess if that's the case then I've answered my own question. I'll keep fiddling. thanks for the reply

yes, as far as I know, the optic is just pointed at the lamp, though I don't really know. It is a: "High Power UV-VIS, Fiber Light Source" made by Hamamatsu To me it's just a box with a connector port and an on-button. I don't really know the specifics (maybe I should start finding those out...

I hope this post in the appropriate forum. I have a spectrograph and a CCD imaging chip that I am using for an optics experiment. The light coming into the spectrograph is through a 10 micron fiber optic. In order put the light on the CCD imaging chip the way I want it, I believe I need to...

"oxyhydrogen" is what I've read in literature I agree, HHO is a dumb name.

HHO isn't a hoax...it's an H2 and O2 gaseous mixture. The reason why the presence of hydrogen in small amounts would speed up the combusion process is because it supplies more H and O radicals, sooner, to react with the decomposing hydrocarbons and helps trigger the chain branching reactions...
