The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light sources E-Lux™ use an innovative and advantageous concept of VUV light generation: Pure rare gases or rare gas mixtures at elevated pressures are excited by low energy electron beams. Its brilliance and flexible performance makes the E-Lux™ a powerful solution for any photophysical and photochemical application.
The E-Lux™ VUV lamp systems are designed for a stable light output and a variety of operation modes that can be exactly selected to the users needs. The E-Lux™ EPU power supply fulfills all requirements for a safe and reliable operation and is prerequisite to operate the E-Lux™ VUV lamps.
The E-Lux™ software allows for an user-friendly and safe operation of the E-Lux™ VUV lamp system. Necessary parameters, like the voltages applied on the electron tube, are automatically set and controlled. A damage of the system due to improper settings is therefore excluded. All lamp parameters are monitored in a separate information window. The operation software requires a PC or laptop (2 GHz / 2 GB RAM) running Windows XP® and an USB 2.0 interface.
The E-Lux™ can be coupled directly to any device offering a suited flange. However the brilliant emission spot inspires the use of a focusing optics to drastically increase the photon density on the target. The E-Lux™ EEM Optical Module uses a 90° ellipsoidal mirror with 1:1 imaging ratio. The standard E-Lux™ EEM is designed for a focal length of f = 120 mm. Other focal lengths are available on request.
