Vacuum ultra-violet photon source (VUV source HIS 13)<br />
The high intensity VUV Source [14] HIS 13 can be operated with various discharge<br />
gases, such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon or hydrogen. But in our laboratory<br />
we use only helium and neon gases. The operation of the lamp is based on the principle<br />
of a cold cathode capillary discharge [15]. If an increasing potential is applied between<br />
the ends of an insulating tube filled with gas at a pressure of typically 1 mbar, a
