ISO 9001:2000 CERTIFIED

PHOTRON

specializes in research, development and

manufacture of high quality light sources

for use in analytical spectroscopy. The principals of

Photron each have more than 40 years of experience
both in the design of spectroscopic instruments and
light sources. The design for all lamps produced are
based on actual use and experience with atomic
absorption, UV-visible spectrophotometers and other
spectroscopic instruments.

Constant development of alloys, intermetallic species

and cathode surface technology ensures the analyst of
the best possible line source for atomic absorption
spectroscopy (AAS).

Stringent process conditions, modern and efficient high

vacuum equipment coupled with intelligent selection
of internal components provide Photrons Hollow
Cathode lamps(HCLs) with fast warm-up times and an
extended shelf life guaranteed for 5 years from the
date of manufacture.

The successful development of the boosted discharge

Hollow Cathode Lamp called the Super LampPAT
(see page 6) provides a simple and efficient equivalent
to

with

a wider range of elements and considerable

reduction in cost.

Photron's range of Deuterium Arc Lamps and coded

lamps for some instruments (Varian, Perkin Elmer and
Unicam) allows all users of spectroscopic instruments
a complete range of high quality lamps.

Super Lamp PAT.

High Intensity Sharp
Line Source for AAS
and AFS Spectroscopy
The Super Lamp is particularly recommended for the following determinations in Atomic
Absorption Spectroscopy.

Elements with resonance spectra in the far UV where instrumental efficiency

is reduced e.g. Arsenic and Selenium.

Elements with complex spectra, where the enhanced resonance line reduces
the interference of background radiation, allowing the use of wider slit widths
further reducing signal to noise. e.g. Nickel and Iron.

For determinations at or near the detection limit, in some cases a 10 fold

improvement in detection limit can be achieved.

This lamp produces intense spectra with narrow line widths!

Super Lamps are also used in Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy.

Super Lamp PAT. High Intensity

Sharp Line Source for Perkin
Elmer Instruments
Photrons Perkin Elmer Size Super Lamps produce intense spectra with narrow line widths and is available for a wider range of elements than
Electrodeless Discharge Lamps.
Simple Operation The Super Lamp and power supply have been designed for ease of operation. Simply select the instrument lamp current as for a
normal hollow cathode lamp then adjust the boost current to peak energy level or minimum noise condition.
Compatibility The Super Lamp and power supply are compatible with most commercial atomic absorption instruments, either by direct connection
or with adaptor kits available (see page 10). Once the power supply is installed normal hollow cathode lamps can be used in the same position without
disconnecting the power supply.

PHOTRON LAMPS

Low Cost The Super Lamp system provides a high intensity light source at much lower cost than Electrodeless Discharge Lamps, warm up is faster and
generally more stable.
Principle of Operation As illustrated the lamp consists of an anode situated behind an open ended cylindrical cathode. A second hot cathode is
mounted externally and provides a secondary discharge through the primary cathode.The normal sputtering discharge operates between the cylindrical
cathode and the anode and is obtained using the standard hollow cathode lamp supply from the AA spectrophotometer, an auxiliary power supply
provides the heater current and current for the secondary discharge.
Resonance Line Width This secondary discharge excites all atoms sputtered that are present in the discharge plasma allowing much higher currents
to be used without any self-absorption broadening.
Background Radiation Fortunately this increase in excitation only affects the primary resonance lines of the sputtered atoms, all other emitted spectra
such as ion and gas lines become a much smaller component of total lamp intensity.The result is an improvement in linearity and the ability to use wider
bandpass for elements with lines close to the resonance line, e.g. Ni.
Linearity The narrow line width and the large reduction in non resonance spectra provides the analyst with an almost linear calibration curve. This
means for most determinations only 1 standard is required for calibration.
The Result The comparison of a hollow cathode lamp and a Super Lamp for a furnace determination of Arsenic clearly illustrates the performance achieved.

Design Criteria
has spent some years in the development and

PHOTRON

evaluation of deuterium arc lamps in order to avoid

the shortfalls of traditional lamp design. This work has resulted in a reliable economical
UV source.
Photron deuterium arc lamps have the following technical advantages:
Stable Filament The use of a horizontally mounted filament across two firm short wire

P712

supports, reduces mechanical vibration. This avoids the destruction or degration of the
emission cathode during shipping or handling which often causes premature lamp failure.
Sputter Shielding Careful prevention from deposits of materials from the cathode onto
the window and discharge cup during running life is achieved by special shielding. This
feature assists in decreasing the loss of intensity over the life of the lamp.
Envelope Use of UV transmitting borosilicate instead of quartz reduces cost and no long
term deterioration of the window area occurs (solarisation). No diffusion loss of
deuterium occurs.
Lifetime Each deuterium arc lamp should maintain 50% of initial energy for 1000 Hrs at
300 mA DC.
Note: for pulsed systems with a short duty cycle where the peak current exceeds 600 mA
life will be less than the above. Elapsed time indicators are supplied on request.

Photron Power Supply

and Accessories
The Photron Super lamp power supply adds a boost discharge for use with Super lamps, the lamp uses existing spectrophotometer lamp current, the
power supply adds a boost discharge to increase excitation of atoms sputtered by the instrument lamp supply (see Page7). This boost current is linked
by circuitry inside the power supply and the boost discharge is transmitted at the same rate as the instrument.
The boost discharge when increased from zero will reach a peak light intensity and then cause the level to drop off. This effect means that instruments
with different electronic systems will require different boost currents to achieve the peak signal output. With the simple operation of setting the boost,
makes the Superlamp a fast more sensitive and cost efficient than other systems.
Photrons Superlamp power supply can be fitted to many Atomic Absorbtion instruments including;Varian, Perkin Elmer, GBC Scientific, Unicam, Hitachi,
Shimadzu, Analytic Jena and many others. Photron also offers adaptors which may be required to fit the power supply to some instruments.The Superlamp
power supply has obtained

mark certification.

Photron Warranty
Hollow Cathode Lamps
All Photron hollow cathode lamps and the Super Lamppat. are warranted to be free of material
and manufacturing defects when operated at the correct current for each instrument detailed
on the lamp operating data sheet supplied for each element.

The operational lifetime of all of the above is rated at 5000mA Hrs based on the currents
specified in the data sheet, e.g. lamp run at 10mA last 500Hrs.

The use of currents higher than specified particularly on instruments where high peak currents
are used, will shorten the life for some elements. Those affected either have a high vapour
pressure (Hg As Se) or high sputtering rate (Au Cd Zn).

Warranty claims regarding lamp failure will be considered up to 2 years from date of purchase.

Warranty claims must accompany a completed warranty card. If a free replacement lamp is
supplied the validity of guarantee shall date from shipment of the first lamp.

The shelf life of unused lamps are warranted for 5 years from the original purchase, any hollow
cathode lamp found faulty before any use will be replaced.

Deuterium Arc Lamps

Deuterium Lamps will maintain 1000Hrs at 300mA DC these lamps should maintain more than
50% of initial intensity. Where lamps are used in pulsed systems with short duty cycle that have
excessive peak currents >600mA, life will be less than the above.

Warranty is considered up to 1 year from purchase. Any replacements will date from the
purchase of the original lamp.
