Low Pressure Double-Bore UV Lamps

The specialized design of this mercury bulb eliminates dangling lead wires because of their location at only one end of the lamp. This feature is ideal for such applications as submerging the lamp into a liquid or inserting the lamp into small apertures. The double-bore has strong isolated spectral lines that are well separated from the others, and the bulbs are free from contaminates which are harmful to the operation of the lamp. Jelight Company takes extra, unique steps in the manufacturing process to ensure that each lamp is free of contamination. These processes improve the quality, stability, uniformity, and lifetime of the lamps. When operated properly, the lamp is extremely stable which is important for accurate calibration and instrumentation applications where this stability is vital. In comparison to other UV light sources, the double-bore lamps are very cool burning; the temperature rarely exceeds 100° C. This is important in processes where the components or substances must not be heated by the light source used.

The double-bore mercury bulbs are long lasting UV light sources with a lifetime of 5000 hours under optimal conditions. However, some lamps have operated continuously for as long as 30000 hours. All of the double-bore bulbs can be filled with a variety of gases such asargon, krypton, neon, xenon, and helium.

Phosphor Coated Aperture Lamps

The aperture phosphor-coated lamps that Jelight Company produces employ the same basic design as the double-bore, low-pressure mercury vapor lamps with the exception of a special phosphor coating. This coating covers more than 70% of the diameter of the lighted length of the lamp. Selected phosphors are used, which are then excited by mercury spectral emission lines. Lamps can be made with outputs ranging from approximately 280-1000 nm. The unique concept behind the aperture lamps is that phosphor lines are detected from the reflections; therefore the same lamp exhibits all the spectral lines of the low-pressure mercury as well as the phosphor lines. Custom coatings, such as the option of mixing two or more phosphors together, can also be supplied to meet specific applications. Jelight Company Inc. has perfected a special coating process which provides excellent phosphor adhesion, light uniformity, and long life.

Aperture phosphor coated lamps can also be supplied with a black light blue glass filter which serves to eliminate visible light.

Mercury Vapor Grid Lamps

Jelight Company Inc. has extensive experience in the manufacturing of mercury vapor grid lamps. All grid lamps have high intensity, low noise, and are uniform across the grid.

The grid lamps can be custom made in many different sizes and structures to suit a wide variety of applications such as vapor phase deposition, photo resist stabilization, removal of organic contaminants, UV curing, and more.

They can also be manufactured from materials such as fused quartz (ozone producing, 185 & 254 nm), ozone free quartz (254 nm) or synthetic quartz (suprasil,185 & 254 nm). They can also be ozone free with our various phosphor coatings if targeting a specific wavelength.

Grid lamps come in a variety of sizes depending on the application and the output intensities range from 15 – 100 mw/cm2 at one inch. They also have an extremely long life rated at 10,000 hours.

We also have different electrode arrangements to accommodate any application. Please see the associated diagram.

Capillary lamps

Jelight Company also offers capillary lamps. This special lamp with mercury produces three times the intensity of the 254nm wavelength compared to the standard double-bore® lamp. The unique quality of the capillary lamp is that the entire arc is concentrated into a 1 or 2 mm capillary. This is beneficial as it makes the light exceptionally intense, uniform, and stable. The actual detection of the light is from the end of the capillary and therefore it causes a detector to “view” the diameter of the arc instead of the width of the arc. The Capillary Lamp is available with an ozone free quartz window where vacuum U.V. lines are not desirable, or with a synthetic silica window for transmitting UV. Our capillary lamps are available with a variety of options such as having one or two capillaries, 1 or 2 mm in diameter, various fill gases such as argon, neon, helium, krypton, or xenon, and different phosphor coatings.

Photochemical Lamps

These types of lamps are specially designed for photochemical applications. Various, custom designs by us allow for submersion in liquids as well as custom lighted lengths and shapes. In addition to custom designs, we also manufacture a full line of standard, double-bore lamps for photochemical applications. All of our lamps are manufactured with the highest grade quartz and are rigorously tested before being shipped out.
