Deuterium lamps are one of the preferred light sources for UV spectroscopy. The deuterium lamp emits a smooth and continuous spectrum in the wavelength range of ~160-400 nm while having negligible output in the visible and infrared spectral region.
Key Features
- Continuous spectrum in the UV from ~160 to 400 nm
- Negligible output in the VIS and IR regions
- Extensive accessories
- Preferred incoherent light source for UV spectroscopy
- Compactness
- Availability of a radiometrically calibrated version
The complete deuterium (D2) light source consists of
- Deuterium lamp with compatible holder
- Robust protective housing
- Capacitor for light trapping and collimation
- Power supply
- Interface and cabling
