XENON APPARATUS PRODUCING LIGHT IN THE SPECTRUMS OF ULTRAVIOLET AND VISIBLE

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus forming a light source for bringing substantially continuous radiation in a range of the order of 300 to 500 nanometers over a restricted surface area. /P P According to the invention, it comprises a light source means 30 containing xenon at more than 3 atmospheres and less than 10 atmospheres, and comprising a filter assembly 27 to suppress the lower wavelengths about 300 nanometers; a housing 23 which can contain the light source and which can be held in the hand; means for pulsing the light source, and light source means for supplying radiation to the restricted surface. The invention applies in particular to the fields of medicine and dentistry.
