    C h a p t e r 2 DESCRIPTION General The EQ-99 is a broad-band lamp system for use in a wide variety of applications. The lamp produces high brightness, broad-band light from DUV wavelengths through visible and beyond. The output is very stable, and has a long lifetime before any service is required. A simple control interface ensures ease of use.

    Power Input Connector This is the input connector for 24 VDC power. Power can be provided using the optional EQ- 99-PS001 (US and Japan) or EQ-99-PS002 (Europe). Alternatively, the EQ-99 can be powered directly from a customer provided 24VDC power supply. See Chapter 3 for detailed information.

Do not attempt to substitute any parts. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the EQ-99 Lamp House or Power Supply Controller unit.
  • Page 22 Purge Gas Purge gas is optional but is recommended for best performance. With no purge, ozone will form from atmospheric oxygen and attenuate the light output in the 220 – 280nm band. In addition, atmospheric oxygen and water vapor will attenuate the output below 200nm. If required, connect a source of nitrogen purge gas to the port on the Lamp House.

    This is done to minimize the possibility of debris or particles contaminating the end of the laser fiber. Energetiq strongly recommends leaving the laser fiber connected, unless it is necessary to disconnect it for installation or routing of the laser fiber. If the laser fiber must be disconnected, apply SMA caps immediately to both ends, and follow directions on inspection and cleaning of the laser fiber described in Chapter 5.
