For Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy on solids (UPS), the high performance Ultraviolet Source UVS 200 is ideally suited. The design of the discharge chamber results in high intensity and it also facilitates easy ignition and extremely stable operation of the discharge. The UVS 200 can be mounted to any 2.75"OD flange on an analysis chamber as flange-to-sample distances are not critical. The source is differentially pumped via the beam guide capillary (two pumping lines). This efficient pumping also ensures a long operating life. The He I / He II ratio can be controlled by adjusting the pressure of the discharge. The discharge capillary is air-cooled by a fan. When the fan is removed the source can be baked to 250°, allowing true UHV operation. Helium is normally used as operating gas but Neon and Argon may also be used.


UV Source Pumping Schematics


UV Source Controller UVC 200

The UVC 200 supplies all voltages and currents needed for the UVS 200 UV Source operation. It consists of a switch mode power unit, an ignition unit and a fan control unit. The power supply operates in constant voltage or constant current mode. Before ignition the power supply operates in voltage mode. The source is ignited by simply pressing a push button on the front panel of the power supply. The power supply also ensures fail safe operation of the UV-source. An interlock circuit turns off the high voltage applied to the source to prevent UV-source damage.
