Hollow cathode lamps: Yesterday, today and tomorrow

24 Jan 2022

This application note reviews some of the relevant characteristics of hollow cathode lamps and shows some of the improvements that have been made. Particular attention is given to multi-element hollow cathode lamps and to boosted discharge lamps.

Single Element Hollow Cathode Lamps

Agilent Technologies

Agilent single-element lamps are available as either coded or economical uncoded lamps. Coded lamps are element coded for automatic recognition by the Agilent AA instrument, simplifying operation and eliminating the risk of time-consuming errors when changing the lamp position. Uncoded lamps provide the same excellent performance as Agilent coded lamps. Agilent lamps are manufactured in an ISO 9001 environment using the purest cathode materials for optimal lifetime, economical operation, and superb performance. They provide high spectral purity and the extended processing cycle, and unique lamp conditioning procedures ensure minimal lamp warm-up and stable operation.
