A Hamamatsu Photonics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 29, 2009

Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced the 100W xenon short arc reflector lamp.

The L10878 light unit incorporates a long-life xenon lamp precisely assembled with a visible-light condenser reflector.

It does not require the optical systems or optical axis adjustment mechanisms that are necessary for standard xenon lamp operation.

This simplifies equipment design and makes lamp replacement easy for the end user, according to the company.

The xenon lamp has a life of 1,000 hours and an average life of 1,500 hours.

The lamps exhibit high stability, with a peak-to-peak fluctuation of one per cent (maximum) and a drift of +/-0.5 per cent per hour (typical).

Hamamatsu claims that other features include no arc point shift, ozone-free operation and the ability to re-strike while hot.

The L10878 has been designed for use as an endoscope and microscope light source and is suitable for various other types of medical equipment requiring a high-quality, high-stability and easily maintained light source.
