LIGHT SOURCE Xenon lamp, Xenon flash lamp, Mercury-Xenon lamp, Deuterium lamp and Hollow cathode lamp

Long Life High Stability Light measurement technology is utilized in many applications including industry, medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and academic research fields. Light sources (lamps) as well as optical sensors used in light measurement equipment must have high performance characteristics. Over a long period of years, Hamamatsu Photonics has been manufacturing various lamp types that deliver high stability and long life, including light sources used for chemical analysis equipment. We continually develop and improve electrode materials and lamp structures so that each...

Selection Guide by Characteristics WAVELENGTH Hamamatsu light sources can be broadly divided by radiant spectrum distribution into two groups: one is "broad spectrum light sources" that cover a wide spectral range from "UV to visible" or "UV through infrared", and the other is "line spectrum light sources" that emit sharp line spectrum characterized by the metallic elements sealed within the lamp.

Selection Guide by Characteristics WATTAGE Light output from a lamp is basically proportional to the input power. However, pulsed lighting can provide a momentary (in microseconds) higher brightness than the continuous lighting type. This makes pulsed lighting ideally suited for applications requiring high output power for a short duration. The radiant distribution of lamps must also be taken into account in order to utilize the optimum emission point with high stability and high output power.

Selection Guide by Characteristics STABILITY Light output stability can be classified into "fluctuation" (short-term stability) and "drift" (long-term stability ). To select optimum lamps that meet your application, these stability characteristics must be taken into account. Small variations in light output × 100 = Light output stability (%) Mean Light output I FLUCTUATION (Short-term stability) 0.01 % Xenon Flash Lamps 3% Mercury Xenon Lamps 2% Vacuum Ultra Violet Deuterium Lamps Hollow Cathode Lamps 5% Lamp light output stability is an important factor that affects measurement accuracy...
