High-Energy UV Source for Broad-Spectrum Analysis
The 11.7 eV PID lamp utilizes a special gas filling and electrode design to generate higher-energy ultraviolet light. Its photon energy reaches 11.7 electron volts, enabling it to ionize a wider range of high-ionization-energy volatile organic compounds and some inorganic gases. It is a core component enabling high-end gas detectors to achieve broader spectrum analysis.
The higher energy level allows detection of compounds that are not ionizable by standard 10.6 eV lamps, including formaldehyde (ionization energy 10.9 eV), acetaldehyde, and certain chlorinated hydrocarbons. This expanded detection capability is critical for semiconductor manufacturing (process gas purity monitoring), pharmaceutical synthesis (reaction byproduct detection), and environmental forensics (complex mixture analysis). The 11.7 eV lamp delivers enhanced sensitivity for hard-to-detect compounds.
