The name "double-bore" comes from the special quartz used to make the Ultra Violet lamps. This glass consists of quartz tubing with a quartz partition or septum through the center. (See drawing). This allows the plasma to ignite at one electrode, travel around the septum, and back down to meet the other electrode creating an arc of U.V. energy. Double-Bore® lamps are low pressure, cold cathode, mercury vapor lamps which are manufactured from either fused quartz (ozone producing) or ozone free quartz. (Ozone free quartz lamps can replace Vycor* filter lamps for most applications).
The specialized design of this mercury lamp eliminates dangling lead wires because of their location at only one end of the lamp. This feature is ideal for such applications as dipping into liquid or inserting the lamp into small apertures. The Double-Bore lamps have strong isolated spectral lines that are well separated from the others. The Double-Bore lamps are free from contaminations which are harmful to the operation of the lamp. We take extra, unique steps in the manufacturing process to ensure that each lamp is free of contamination. This process improves the quality, stability, uniformity and lifetime of the Double-Bore lamps. When operated properly, these mercury lamps are extremely stable. This is important for accurate calibration and instrumentation applications where the lamp stability is vital. In comparison to other U.V. light sources, the Double-Bore lamps are very cool burning. The temperature rarely exceeds 100° C. This is important where the components or substances must not be heated by the light source used. The Double-Bore mercury lamps have long life. Under optimal conditions lifetime of the lamp is 5000 hours, although they have been operated for as many as 30000 continuous hours. All of the Double-Bore lamps can be filled with a variety of rare gases such as argon, krypton, neon, xenon, and helium.
