Xenon high-intensity arc lamps, an electric light that produces light by passing electricity through ionized xenon gas at high pressure, have a versatility which has seen its use grow year on year.
Xenon’s spectral output and color temperature creates bright white light, like natural sunlight, which lends itself to aiding a physician observing tissue in situ, attempting to determine disease states.
As xenon behaves well when mixed with other noble gases, applications engineers can design systems that take advantage of xenon’s native characteristics, while enhancing the near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic output from lamps, creating an even broader spectral range for their products and systems.
