CIE x048-PO29 – STUDY OF METHODS FOR MEASURING THE OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LOW-PRESSURE MERCURY LAMPS

Obtaining experimental data on the electrical and photometric parameters of low-pressure tubular amalgam lamps with a discharge in a mixture of mercury vapor and inert gases at high current densities of 0.5-1.2 A/cm2 with frequencies of tens of kilohertz is one of the key problems of modern metrology. Since a full-fledged study of the properties of experimental samples of mercury lamps is impossible without a reliable method of photometric measurements, and for ozone lamps such a technique, taking into account the features of the object of study, has not yet been proposed, its development and testing is the main task of this work. Based on the analysis of existing techniques, a technique for measuring the fluxes of the 185 and 254 nm lines of a low-pressure mercury lamp is proposed, taking into account the change in the nature of the spatial distribution of radiation during operation, without directly measuring the RIC. The method proposed by the author for measuring the fluxes of ozonizing and bactericidal radiation can be used as the basis for the development of an automated system for measuring parameters and monitoring the quality of gas-discharge UV radiation sources.
