description

The paper is devoted to problems of employment of high- frequency electrodeless lamps as ultra violet (UV) and vacuum ultra violet (VUV) light sources. Some aspects of lamp preparation technology for UV and VUV are considered. The technology, developed in our laboratory, allows to prepare HFEL-s filled with wide spread of chemical elements. Our experience shows that most important filling elements for UV and VUV spectral regions are Zn, Cd, Hg, Se, As, Sn and Pb, Sb, Bi, Tl, Te, I, H, Hg-Cd, Hg-Zn, Se-Te. The requirements for generators are discussed. Some important spectral characteristics of lamp examples are presented.
