Buying Ultraviolet Light Sources

Top-level product category: icon non-laser light sources

More specific product categories: mercury vapor lamps, ultraviolet lasers

Ultraviolet light can be generated using various light sources, including gas discharge lamps. The emission characteristics depend on the type of gas and its pressure, resulting in either narrow line emission or spectrally continuous broadband radiation. Various ultraviolet laser sources are also available.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

I feel that I sufficiently understand the technical background.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying ultraviolet light sources. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

I think that I am sufficiently informed about our requirements.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

I consider the above list of specifications to be sufficiently complete, clear and accurate.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

Insert these criteria when creating inquiry mails to suppliers with the buttons "Get quotation".

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

Below, you can find our list of suppliers for ultraviolet light sources. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

YOUR KEY to innovation and success

UltraFast Innovations GmbH
Dieselstr. 5
85748 Garching (München)
Germany

Profile page Website

See us at LASER World of Photonics 2025 in Munich, June 24–27 (booth B1.543)!

UltraFast Innovations (UFI®) has developed a high-harmonic-generation (HHG) vacuum setup called NEPAL. It contains all required vacuum components (including the vacuum pump) and a fully motorized gas jet target for extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft X-ray generation. One can generate isolated attosecond pulses through HHG by injecting suitable femtosecond laser pulses.

The optical breadboard inside the chamber is isolated from environmental vibrations for optimum temporal and pointing stability. A feedthrough with a noble gas inlet is included to supply e.g., argon, neon or helium for HHG in the spectral region of interest.
