Halogen Light Source: Application sin Spectrophotometry
Halogen light source s have come a long way from a traditional light bulb to a high precision lamp. Halogen bulbs derive their name from the halogen gas filled inside the lamp casing which houses the tungsten filament. Here are the different types of halogen light sources used in spectrophotometry: Deuterium lamp It is also known as D2 lamp. The wavelength range varies from 190nm – 370nm. A normal glass exterior is not suitable due to its high temperature condition. Hence quartz or some other material is used. A deuterium lamp can live up to 1000 hours. A deuterium lamp is made with halogen lamps in an UV/VIS spectrophotometer. This will aid in canvassing the whole visible and UV light wavelength. Deuterium lamp is a good source of ultraviolet light for analytical instruments, liquid chromatography detectors, pollution analyzers, medical analyzers, densitometers, and colorimeters. They are well suited for secondary calibration standards in the UV region. Halog
