UV Source 40A2

The UV Source (UVS) is a high intensity Photon Source that can be operated with a variety of discharge gases.

The UVS is water cooled for maximum stability and features fully interlocked safety circuitry.

The discharge has a maximum photon intensity at a pressure of several mbar and so dual differential pumping stages are employed in order to maintain the host chamber pressure.

The UVS 40A2 is designed so that a continuous gas flow is maintained through the discharge region. This is of great advantage in maintaining the cleanliness of the discharge capillary and results in very long service intervals.

The UVS 40A2 is used in UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy) research.
