Hollow Cathode Lamps (Multi Element) - All

HCL Multi-Element Overview

• Photron's P500  & P5 Multi Element HCLs: All AAS systems (37mm or 1.5")
• Photron's P600 & P6 Multi Element HCLs: Perkin Elmer (51mm or 2")

Hollow cathode lamps produced by Photron are designed and manufactured to achieve all of the following fundamental requirements for a spectral line source.

• Intense emission of resonance (ground state derived) lines.
• Narrow line width, for maximum sensitivity and linearity.
• Minimal spectral interference from continuum emission, present in the cathode.
• Rapid warm up to produce stable long term light emission.
• Noise free operation.
• Long running life and a 5 year shelf life.
• Cathode materials and geometry achieve a combination of spectral purity and a suitable sputtering rate. (A high sputtering rate will give high intensity at the expense of lamp life, sensitivity and linearity).
