Product overview The Excelitas FX-1100 Series short-arc xenon flashlamps are unconfined arc devices that produce microsecond-duration broadband light pulses with high radiant intensity. Their arc stability and service life make them suitable for precision photometry, radiometry and spectroradiometry.

Key features

• Unconfined arc design producing microsecond-duration broadband light pulses
• High radiant intensity with stable arc behavior and extended operating life
• Power range from 10 W (glass-bodied) to 20 W (metal can)
• FX-1160 sub‑series metal can includes an internal reflector, increasing usable light output by approximately 40% versus non-reflector lamps
• Capable of high repetition-rate operation
• Continuous spectral output from ultraviolet through visible to infrared
• Applications: precision photometry, radiometry, spectroradiometry

Additional information The FX-1100 Series provides a variety of lamp formats and window materials for applications requiring stable, high-intensity short-arc xenon flashes and consistent spectral output across UV–IR regions.

Technical specifications
