Mercury xenon light sources (HgXe)

Mercury xenon light sources have high output power in the UV and VIS range with characteristic lines in the UV, VIS and NIR. Their small, very bright arcs have significant advantages when used with condenser optics. They produce either a highly collimated beam or a small, focused spot of high intensity.

Features
  • Different power classes from 100 to 1000 W
  • Wavelength range: 200 - 2500 nm
  • High radiance in UV and VIS
  • Highly collimated or focused output beams
  • Good approximation to a point light source

Further information

We offer six models that cover the range from 100 to 1000 W. The models include almost everything needed for proper operation (lamp housing, power supply, cables and adapters). Only select lamp and condensing optic according to your requirements to complete.

Of course, you can also choose from our wide range of accessories to adapt the light sources to your specific measuring task.
