    DC Xenon (Xe) and Mercury-Xenon (Hg(Xe)) arc lamps are popular illumination sources for fluorescence microscopy and spectrophotometer systems and industrial applications. Oriel Instruments® offers 16 unique 450-1000 W Research Arc Lamp Sources. These lamp sources use long lifetime Xe and Hg(Xe) arc lamps to provide high intensity ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) light output with minimum light ripple. Everything needed to operate the lamp such as a lamp housing, power supply, and power cables are included into one package.

    Features

    UV Enhanced Xe Lamp Option

    450-500

    Xe lamps have a white light output very similar to the Sun and a high color temperature, making these lamps useful for solar simulation. These lamps are also popular for wafer inspection. For users requiring the output of a Xe arc lamp with additional intensity in the UV region, UV Enhanced Xe arc lamps are offered.

    Ozone Free Xe Lamp Option

    1000

    Ozone free lamps are excellent options when wavelength emission below 260 nm are not required. If an ozone creating lamp must be used, it is recommended to use the light source near a ventilation port or outdoors. As these conditions are not always available or ideal, Oriel offers an Ozone EaterTM as an optional accessory to create a safe operating environment for the user.

    Hg(Xe) Lamp Option

    500-1000

    Hg(Xe) arc lamps include a mixture of mercury and xenon gas, with the mixture of mercury giving the lamp a higher output intensity and pronounced spectral emission lines in the UV and visible spectrum. Applications requiring higher intensity and sharper emission lines in the UV to visible such as film thickenss measurement and UV curing take advantage of these unique characteristics.

    High Stability

    LS-Power

    The OPS-A1000 power supply provided with these light sources is a highly regulated power supply. Much of an arc lamp\'s stability in wavelength and output intensity is due to keeping the temperature and pressure of the gas inside the lamp\'s envelope as constant possible. The OPS-A1000 power supply provides highly stable voltage and current supply to the arc lamp, keeping the arc lamp\'s ripple to less than 1% rms while maximizing the lifetime of the lamp.

    F/1, Two Element Fused Silica Condensor Lens Option

    Two different Research Lamp Housings are offered with these light sources. Oriel\'s Research Lamp Housings are designed to focus the output light of the lamp to the user\'s needs while providing an ideal environment for lamp operation and user safety.

    • A built in temperature sensor and cooling fan prevents overheating of the lamp during operation
    • A rear reflector built inside the lamp housing reflects back scatter radiation from the lamp. The collimating lens assembly on each Research Lamp Housing is used to ensure the lamp is properly aligned within the housing and optimally focus the light output to the user’s needs
    • If the lamp housing door is not firmly secured to the lamp housing or a lamp housing interconnection cable is not firmly secured to its connector, the lamp inside will not ignite or supply voltage and current to the lamp will not be supplied. This protects the user from accidental exposure to UV radiation and high voltage during ignition and operation of the lamp.

    Choose the 66921 if the Oriel 2 inch flange series and a 48 mm diameter, collimated light output is desired. The condensor lens of the 66921 contains two lenses, with the secondary lens in place to correct spherical aberration from the first.

    F/0.7, Four Element Fused Silica AspherabTM Condensor Lens Option

    Choose the 66923 if the Oriel 3 inch flange series and a 69 mm diameter, collimated light output is desired. The condensor lens of the 66923 contains a four element AspherabTM lens assembly, the most efficient light collection setup offered that is almost free of spherical aberration. Both the 66921 and 66923 are compatible with all 450-1000 W DC Arc Lampsoffered by Oriel, allowing a setup with interchangeable lamps. The proper socket adapter (included with each light source kit) for each arc lamp is also required for use with a Research Arc Lamp Housing. Users may find Newport\'s Flange Couplers and Adapters and Lens Tubeproducts useful for flange of the lamp housing to other Oriel or Newport products.

    All Necessary Components for Lamp Operation Included

    Each light source includes an Xe or Hg(Xe) arc lamp, appropriate socket adapter, required lamp housing interconnection cables, power supply, and Research Lamp Housing. After a quick and easy assembly, the light source is ready for use and easily integrated into a user\'s setup.
