KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Xenon arc-lamps are most suited to photoluminescence instruments, as they provide a high-intensity continuum source with UV and visible output. Xenon lamps have a small arc length, (0.5 to 2.7 mm for 75 to 450W lamps) and a high flux density. They are also available in a variety of envelope materials, allowing output from 185 nm and have relatively long operating lifetimes of up to 2000 hours.


Xenon arc-lamps are typically operated with DC power supplies, and offer the highest flux density short of a laser. The spectral output is close to that of the sun at 6000°C, and so they also make ideal solar simulators in many experiments.


There are many important considerations when using an arc-lamp. These include: envelope materials, ozone dissipation and convection current effects on noise, cooling, arc gap and lamp life. Whilst they are often the lamp of choice for most fluorescence instruments, they also require a complex power supply, and a well designed lamp housing to provide proper lamp cooling. They are also, generally, more expensive.


Xenon arc-lamps when designed and configured correctly are powerful and effective spectroscopy tools, and so it is crucial to ensure you know the best solution for your specific needs. ClydeHSI has decades of experience in designing and deploying these lamps in a range of applicational areas, and are best placed to talk through the best solution for you and your application.
