Abstract |
Quartz glass sleeves containing medium-pressure mercury lamps (MPLs) are subject to radiation damage due to the intense VUV- and UV-C emission of this kind of lamp. In general sleeves are made out of conventional quartz glass produced by melting pegmatite sand under reducing atmospheric conditions. The result is a “dry” quartz glass material with low OH-content and a large amount of SiH groups, which are subject to strong radiation damage reducing the UV-transmission and useful lifetime of the sleeves. Alternative materials containing SiOH in addition to SiH groups are much more resistance against radiation damage showing a self-annealing property under prolonged irradiance. Added by: Sarina |
