xenon flash lamp xenon flash lamp

20 W xenon flash lamps

These 20 W xenon flash lamps employ a metal can package to achieve high output.
An MgF2 window type that emits a spectrum of light from 160 nm to 7500 nm is also available for a wide range of applications including industrial inspections, quantitative measurements, and chemical analysis. A high-output model with a built-in reflector is also provided that enables 1.5 times higher output.

NOTE:
*1: To ensure highly stable operation, 10 Hz or more repetition rate is recommended.
*2: Light output stability (at a repetition rate of 10 Hz or more)
     Light output stability (% CV) = light output standard deviation / average light output × 100
     Light output stability (% p-p) = (maximum light output – minimum light output) / average light output × 100
*3: At 20 W operation (main discharge voltage: 1000 V, main discharge capacitance: 1.0 μF, repetition rate: 40 Hz)
*4: Measured with a Hamamatsu Si photodiode S1336-8BQ. The life is defined as the time at which the light output at 190 nm to 1100 nm decreases to 50 % of the initial output level or the light output fluctuation exceeds the specified maximum value when the lamp is operated at 20 W (0.5 J to 0.02 J).
*5: See options for information on trigger sockets.
