Lamps

Xenon Corporation has over 40 years of high intensity pulsed UV lamp design and manufacturing to meet industry, research and educational needs. Our engineers are experts at delivering the optimum light footprint for each application.

Matching optical footprint

Many applications require lamp designs that are matched to the target “footprint”. Traditionally, mercury UV lamps have been limited to short arc or linear lamp designs. There are no such limits on pulsed UV lamps. The ability to shape the lamp to the application, providing better uniformity and enhanced matching of the UV light with the substrate, is a benefit for demanding applications.

Illustrating the flexibility inherent in being able to choose the shape of a lamp, is Xenon’s unique spiral lamp* design, specifically developed for Optical Disc manufacturing. The spiral lamp design provides better uniformity and enhanced matching of the UV light across the substrate. Spiral shaped pulsed UV lamps meet the need for fast, low heat adhesive bonding of two polycarbonate discs as well as complete curing of thick top-layer coatings used with new formats such as Blu-ray Disc™.
