High output low pressure mercury (LPM) discharge UV lamps have been briefly introduced. In order to measure the 254 nm radiant efficiency simply and preciously, Keitz formula was used and its advantage was illustrated. The LPM lamps had outer diameter of 19 mm (T6). The buffer gases are neon (65%) and argon (35%) with total pressure 1-10 Torr (133-1333 Pa). The lamps were operated with cold spot temperatures from 20°C to 80°C and discharge current from 0.8 A to 2.0 A. The electric field, input power, 254 nm UV irradiance and irradiance of other Hg lines from 265 to 579 nm in positive column were measured. The radiant power of each wavelength can be calibrated according to the 254 nm output and the Keitz formula. It was shown that the radiant efficiency of 254 nm can reach a maximum of above 40% at cold spot temperature 45-47 °C and current 1.6 A for filling pressure less than 3 Torr. The optimal mercury vapor pressure was 1.2 to 1.4 Pa. The output percentage of other Hg lines was below 5%. With the decrease of buffer gas pressure, the 254 nm radiant efficiency increased obviously.

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.
