There are various types of electric artificial light sources, which can be divided into three main categories: incandescent lamps, which emit light by passing electricity through a filament; fluorescent lamps, which generate ultraviolet light by discharging mercury; and LEDs, which emit light when voltage is applied to a diode.
Halogen lamps used as car headlamps adopt the principle of incandescent bulbs. For analyzers and research applications, discharging-type light sources such as hollow cathode lamps, xenon flash lamps, and deuterium lamps are used.
In recent years, LED lighting has been getting popular because it emits light without emitting much heat and has a long service life. Other developments in Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) lighting are also underway.
Matsusada Precision's high-voltage power supplies are designed for xenon flash lamps. Hxep series, a high voltage power supply module, consists of the built-in main electrode and auxiliary electrode equipped with the trigger wire used as the starting electrode of a discharge lamp, ideal for xenon flash lamps. Furthermore, Matsusada's power supplies are used in developing, manufacturing, and testing of various light sources, such as LEDs. And our X-ray inspection systems are effectively available to inspect lamps.
