SUPER-QUIET MERCURY-XENON LAMPS
DEEP UV LIGHT SOURCE FOR PRECISION MEASUREMENT
A Mercury-Xenon Lamp is a special lamp designed to provide high radiant energy in the ultraviolet region. Since an optimum mixture of mercury and xenon gas is enclosed, this lamp offers the characteristics of both Xenon lamps and super-high-pressure Mercury lamps. For example, the spectral distribution of a Mercury-Xenon Lamp includes a continuous spectrum from ultraviolet to infrared of the xenon gas and strong mercury line spectra in the ultraviolet to visible range. In comparison to super-high-pressure mercury lamps, the radiant spectrum in the ultraviolet region is higher in intensity and sharper in width.
