Xenon lamps are available mainly as tubular and point-source bulbs. The radiation produced by this type of lamp is not particularly rich at wavelengths below 400 nm, and therefore, their applications are somewhat limited. However, it is possible to pulse xenon lamps, which enables them to achieve high peak irradiances. Commercially available pulsed xenon lamps are available with emissions in the UV and visible spectral range. Alternating the gas fill can produce output rich in UV. The spectral dependence of a xenon lamp on electrical operating parameters is shown in Figure 3.5.
