RESUMEN
Xenon flash lamp is used by most analytical instruments and medical equipments as light sources whose spectral characteristics exert a tremendous influence on the property of instruments and medical equipments. In order to study the effects of pulsed Xenon discharge circuit parameters and geometric parameters on the spectral characteristics, theoretical analysis has been conducted to Xenon lamp emitting process with the gas discharge theory. The spectroscopic detection system has been designed to conduct experimental detection to the spectral characteristics of pulsed Xenon lamp with different parameters. The experimental results show that the emission spectra of Xenon flash lamp contain both line and continuous radiation. The line spectrum results from the electron energy gap transition, while the cw radiation related to ionic recombination and bremsstrahlung. The relative spectral intensity increases linearly with the discharge voltage, and has a positive correlation with storage capacitor. When low discharge voltage, the shorter the arc length, the higher the relative spectral intensity .while the discharge voltage becomes higher, the result is reversed. The work in this paper has great significance for xenon flashlamp on the parameters selection and industrial application.
RESUMEN
The Xenon flash lamp is a new type of light source for analytical instrument. The present paper analyzed the discharge process of xenon flash lamp, presented the discharge test system, and conducted experimental measurement of the voltage, current and optical pulse signal in the process of discharge. The results show that in the preliminary discharge, the free electron concentration was at a low level, so the energy was at a low level, then following the gas discharge, numerous free electrons formed in the lamp, resultin in the increase in the concentration of free electrons, therefore discharge current rised rapidly and voltage reduced. The lamp released photons to generate light pulse in the moment of ionic recombination, The pulse xenon lamp light energy output and spectral characteristic is related to electron energy in recombination and combination level of xenon, if the input energy and the energy consumption of the xenon lamp is inconsistent, it will lead to repeated capacitor charging and discharging and produce oscillation waveform. This paper is very useful for understanding the process of xenon lamp discharge, optimizing the driver circuit and the production of xenon flash lamp.
