The Role of the Xenon Lamp in a Spectrometer
The reason why xenon lamps are used in fluorescence spectroscopy is because xenon lamps have extremely high brightness and stability, and can generate high-energy ultraviolet rays to excite sample molecules, thereby exciting them to fluoresce. In this issue, we will describe the light source, an important part of the spectrophotometer that was explained in "The Structure of a Spectrophotometer" in UV Talk Letter Vol. The most common reference for. The tungsten lamp or tungsten halogen lamp is a blackbody emitter that produces useful radiation over the range from 320 nm to 2400 nm. A picture of a tungsten lamp is shown in Figure 7.
