Xenon‘s properties make it well-suited for advanced lighting technologies:
-
Xenon arc lamps – High luminance white light sources used in cinema projection, automotive headlamps, and searchlights.
-
Xenon flash lamps – Intense millisecond UV bursts for camera flashes, industrial UV curing, and stroboscopic scientific instruments.
-
Xenon flashtubes – Used in gas discharge tubes, x-ray generators, and electroshock weapons for intense bursts.
-
Excimer lasers – Xenon fluoride and xenon chloride excimers emit UV laser pulses for micromachining.
-
Plasma displays – Xenon plasma generates UV photons that excite colored phosphors in flat panel displays.
Xenon produces bright, white light across the visible spectrum when excited electrically. The inertness allows high temperature plasma operation with long working life.
