By using a newly developed ceramic structure, a uniform and optimum temperature distribution, which are the most important factor for stable operation, can be obtained. This results in fluctuations of only 0.05 %p-p in the light output, as well as a reduced drift of only ±0.3 %/h.

NOTE ALamps with an aperture of 0.5 mm diameter are high brightness types. These lamps provide 1.6 times higher brightness than standard lamps with an aperture of 1.0 mm diameter. (Refer to page 8.) BA trigger voltage higher than this value is required to start lamp discharge. For reliable lighting, an application of 500 V to 600 V is recommended. The maximum rated voltage that can be applied is 650 V. CThe heater current during warming-up period is so high that the enough voltage may not be supplied to the lamp in case the cable between the lamp and the power supply is long because of voltage drop at the cable. The power supply for the heater should be designed so as to supply specified voltage at the lamp terminal. DThe lamp life end is defined as the point when the light output falls to 50 % of its initial value or when output fluctuation (p-p) exceeds 0.05 %. EL2D2 lamp does not always have a direct replacement for conventional type from its dimensional outline point of view. Please refer to page 5 and 6. Please consult with our sales offices for further details.
NOTE FRecommended operating voltage is 3.5 V ± 0.5 V. GIn these lamps, discharge current is allowed to flow into the filament during operation so that cathode temperature is maintained at an optimum level. So there is no need for input of external power to keep the filament heated. HAverage operating life : Operating life depends on environmental conditions (vacuum atmosphere). It is recommended that these lamps be used in an oil-free environment. *We recommend using Hamamatsu deuterium lamp power supplies in order to obtain the full performance from our lamps (Refer to page 7 and 9).

L2D2 Lamps (Deuterium Lamps )
POWER SUPPLY
Extremely high stability of intensity is required for deuterium lamps because of their applications. Therefore, use of a power supply designed to drive the lamps with stable operation is recommended. , Hamamatsu s power supply for deuterium lamps uses a constant-current circuit in the main power supply section and a constant-voltage circuit in the filament power supply section to assure a reliable operation. Hamamatsu offers not only OEM power supplies specially designed for your applications, as well as the following types according to the operation mode of various lamps.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Spectral Distribution
Deuterium lamps emit high intensity light in the UV range at wavelengths shorter than 400 nm. Light intensity on the short wavelength side is determined by the window material used.
Light Distribution
The non-projecting type uses the side of the cylindrical glass bulb as the emission window, whilst the projecting type uses a plane glass attached to a projection on the bulb. The projecting type has a uniformed transmittance due to the plane glass. Since the window is located far from the discharge position, the amount of dirt produced by spattering from the electrodes is reduced resulting in low deterioration of light output. The non-projecting type requires less space and has a wider directivity since there is no projection, enabling effective use of emitted light. The long-nose projecting type uses an MgF2 window and is suitable for vacuum ultraviolet applications. This type is used with the tip of the nose inserted into the vacuum equipment.

The following 4 types of window material are available for deuterium lamps. (1) UV glass (2) Synthetic silica (3) MgF2 Figure 2 shows the transmittance of various window materials. UV light at wavelengths shorter than 190 nm attenuates greatly due to its absorption by oxygen. To obtain the fullest performance in window transmittance, it is recommended that the inside of the equipment be filled with nitrogen or vacuum-evacuated to eliminate this absorption effect.

Arc intensity is determined by the aperture (light exit) size. Figure 5 shows typical spectral distributions for lamps with different aperture sizes. At the same input current and voltage, lamps with an aperture of 0.5 mm diameter (high brightness type) provide 1.6 times higher brightness than lamps with an aperture of 1.0 mm diameter (standard type). The half width of spectral distribution also becomes narrower with a reduced aperture size. When higher intensity is required or the object to be irradiated is very small, the high brightness type is recommended.

L2D2 Lamps (Deuterium Lamps )
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Construction
Figure 6 shows the external view and internal construction of a deuterium lamp. The anode has a unique structure covered with ceramic to prevent abnormal discharge, and the cathode has a highly durable electrode. Since a deuterium lamp uses the positive column flash of arc discharge, the cathode is shifted sideways and an aperture is located immediately in front of the anode so that high intensity is obtained. The aperture plate placed between anode and cathode may be used as an auxiliary electrode for lamps designed for low voltage lighting.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Discharging the L2D2 Lamps
Optimum Operating Temperature
To obtain high stability and long operating life, adequate care must be paid to operating conditions including the operating temperature of the lamp. Although the lamp,s bulb wall temperature (Tb) rises as the ambient temperature (Ta) rises, the bulb wall temperature of conventional deuterium lamps normally rises to approx. +200 °C (direct-heated cathode type) to 240 °C (SQ cathode type) when the ambient temperature is +25 °C. Moreover, the bulb wall temperature of the L2D2 lamps rises even further by +50 °C reaching +280 °C due to the way in which the electrode is constructed. (Bulb wall temperature (Tb) also differs depending on the lamp type and heater voltage as well as lamp housing.) Although the operating temperature of Hamamatsu L2D2 lamps has been designed based on lamps operated under normal temperature, the temperature range given in the table below is recommended as the allowable operating temperature range enabling the use of the lamps over a long period of time with high stability.

PRECAUTION AND WARRANTY
Precautions When Using Deuterium Lamps
1. Deuterium lamps emit ultraviolet rays which can be harmful to your eyes and skin. Never look directly at the emitted lights, nor should you allow it to come into contact with your skin. Always wear protective goggles and clothing when operating the lamps. 2. Since the bulb wall reaches a very high temperature (over +200 °C) when the lamp is on, do not touch it with bare hands or bring flammable objects near it. 3. Do not exert mechanical vibration or shock on the lamp, otherwise the stability will deteriorate. 4. Silica glass graded sealing. In the case of bulbs using silica glass, the window is formed by connecting different glass sections having slightly different expansion rates. Since the mechanical strength of these seams is low, the bulb fixing method should be so arranged that no force is exerted on these seams during fixing or operation. 5. Before turning on the lamp, wipe the bulb and window gently with alcohol or acetone. Dirt on the window will cause deterioration of the UV transmission, so always wear gloves when handling the lamp. 6. High voltage is used to operate the lamp. Use extreme caution to prevent electric shocks.

Terminology
Transmittance of UV glass and fused silica drops when they are used over a long period. This is caused by a drop in transparency of the glass resulting from dirt on the glass and the influences of ultraviolet rays. In the worst case, the glass becomes cloudy and its life is shortened. This is called solarization, and transmittance drops, particularly in short wavelength region. This phenomenon is hardly ever seen with synthetic silica.
In deuterium lamps, an aperture electrode is placed between cathode and anode to compress the discharge, so that high light intensity is obtained. This required, a high voltage trigger discharge across cathode and anode. In general, a typical power supply for deuterium lamps consists of the following three power supplies. G Constant current power supply of 300 mA (open voltage about 150 V) G Trigger power supply of 500 to 600 V peak G Power supply for the heater (about 10 W) However, in view of the need for cost reduction, safety and downsizing, lamp manufactures are evaluating methods that eliminate the trigger power supply. One of these is the use of an auxiliary electrode. In this approach, the electrical energy from a constant current power supply of 150 V/300 mA (main power supply) is stored in a trigger capacitor and then is discharged between lamp shield box and cathode. This generates ions and momentarily reduces the impedance between anode and cathode, leading to the main discharge. However, because this trigger discharge occurs only at a restricted point near the cathode, it is a less reliable triggering method. In the L2D2 lamp, ceramic insulators are used as part of the electrode support, so that the aperture potential is isolated from the shield box potential. Since this aperture electrode is used as an auxiliary electrode, the trigger discharge can be guided to the aperture, allowing operation at a voltage 40 to 50 V lower than that of a conventional lamp. This also results in higher reliability of the triggering operation. Thus, the greatest advantage of the auxiliary electrode is that no trigger power supply is necessary. The circuit shown on the below, resulting both a cost reduction and downsizing of the power supply.

2Discharge starting voltage
When the cathode is sufficiently heated and ready for arc discharge, a pulse trigger voltage is applied between anode and cathode, and discharge starts. The discharge starting voltage of 30 W deuterium lamps is approx. 350 V (400 V max.). However, since the discharge starting voltage rises according to the prolongation of operation time, it is recommended that a voltage of approx. 500 V be applied to assure discharge. (The maximum applied voltage for trigger is 650 V.) The discharge starting voltage varies depending on the trigger method and trigger constant.

(1) Drift
•Conventional circuit
TRIGGER SWITCH
Tb Ta
Drift refers to variation of output over a long period caused as a result of the change in thermoelectron discharge characteristic of the cathode, change in gas pressure or dirt on the window. It is expressed in variation per hour. In the case of deuterium lamps, it takes 10 to 15 minutes until the inside of the lamp reaches thermal equilibrium after start of discharge, so a warm-up period of 20 to 30 minutes is required.

(2) Fluctuation
Fluctuation refers to variation of output caused by deterioration of the cathode or fluctuation of discharge position. Light output fluctuates approx. 0.05 % at intervals between a few minutes and a few hours. In addition, the position of the arc point also fluctuates.

4Life
(1)Fluctuation of light output Life is determined by the point at which fluctuation combining fluctuation and shift exceeds 0.05 %p-p. (2)Drop of light output Life is determined by the point at which the total emitted energy drops to 50 % of the initial level. As described earlier, decrease in light output is caused mainly by solarization and dirt inside the window. The life specified is 2000 hours for L2-2000 series, and 4000 hours for L2-4000 series.
TLSOC0020EB
When the L2D2 lamp series with an aperture size of 0.5 mm diameter will be operated by the circuit as shown above, it is recommended to employ CR constant as RT=1 kΩ and CT=0.5 µF to obtain the reliable lamp ignition.
As the ambient temperature (Ta) rises, cathode temperature increases, resulting in evaporation of the cathode. If the ambient temperature (Ta) drops, the gas pressure inside the bulb is reduced increasing the kinetic energy of the gas and ions causing sputtering of the cathodes thermionic coating. In both cases, the gas inside the bulb is rapidly consumed. This deteriorates the stability and intensity. Thereby drastically shortening the operating life. For stable operation of deuterium lamps, care should be paid to the installation of the lamps so that the bulb wall temperature (Tb) does not exceed +290 °C.
