해상 및 육상용 살균방식으로 UV를 사용하는 시스템이 주종을 이루고 있으며, 의료, 생활, 산업용 시스템에 널리 적용되고 있으며, 근래에는 평형수 처리 방식으로 UV를 적용하는 사례가 등장하고 있다. UV 광원으로는 다양한 램프가 있으며 그 중 제논플레시 램프는 강한 섬광형 방전과 함께 다량의 UV를 방출하는 특성이 있어 매우 효과적이다. 다만, 타 광원에 비하여 높은 방전전압으로 인하여 기존의 전원장치 설계 방식으로는 장치의 크기가 크고 복잡한 문제가 있었으며, 이를 개량하기 위한 본 연구에서는 트랜스포머의 자가 공진(self-resonance)을 이용한 설계 기법을 제안하며, 트랜스포머의 특정주파수에서 고유임피던스 성분을 이용하여 출력전압을 필터링하면 제논방전관이 자가 발진방식으로 동작하므로 종래의 회로구성보다 간단하고 경제적인 아크방전 파워 스테이지의 구성이 가능하다.

In this paper, we studied a reflector design that can improve the illuminance uniformity when using a xenon flash lamp in the photonic sintering process. To achieve complete sintering of substrates in the irradiated area, the light efficiency and illuminance uniformity were set to target performance. Existing elliptical reflectors or parabolic reflectors make it easy to satisfy the target light efficiency, but have difficulty satisfying the illuminance uniformity. In this paper, a twin-concave feature has been added to the center of the parabolic reflector to satisfy the illuminance uniformity. It was confirmed that the illuminance uniformity of the parabolic reflector with a twin-concave feature was improved, compared to that of the traditional reflector.

These Xenon flashlamp power supply for Ultra Violet has converter with high voltage conversion ratio. General model is composed of transformer with high voltage conversion ratio and voltage doubler rectifier circuit. Purpose of power supply leads dielectric breakdown of Xenon flashlamp and passes current rapidly. When passing current, it has to limit current to avoid over-heat, damage of electrode and acceleration of gas oxidation which are cause of performance degradation of lamps. Generally, inductors and resistors, which are called as "Ballast," are used to limit currents. Generally, Transformer has high turn ratio to make high voltages. But we can get high voltages using the transformer with low turn ratio which is driven with self resonance. Also, an advantage of self resonance is to make a circuit simply through impedance of transformer in resonance frequency which filters output voltage. As using an unique impedance of transformer, the circuit does not need other impedance elements like the ballast. So the power supply assures high efficiency of the arc discharge.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a 2.5kW (500V, 5A) simmer circuit that maintains the ionization of xenon gas inside the lamp. The design is based on a LCC resonant converter in continuous conduction mode (CCM) with above resonant frequency to take advantage of high power density from using parasitic elements such as the leakage inductance in a power transformer. In addition, since the converter has current source output characteristics, it is suitable for maintaining ionization of the lamp having the negative resistance load characteristic. To verify this converter design, PSpice modeling was performed. Finally, the developed simmer circuit is verified by a resistive load of rated performance and the Ionization maintenance operation of the xenon flash lamp.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a trigger circuit which can be series connected with main pulse circuit for a xenon flash lamp driver. For generating high voltage, the trigger circuit is designed as an inductive energy storage pulsed power modulator with 2 state step-up circuit consisting of a boost converter and a flyback circuit. In order to guarantee pulse width, a resonant capacitor on the output side of the flyback circuit is designed. This capacitor limits the output voltage to protect the flyback switch. In addition, to protect another power supply of xenon flash lamp driver from trigger pulse, the high voltage transformer which can carry the full current of main pulse is designed. To verify the proposed design, the trigger circuit is developed with the specification of maximum 23 kV, 0.6 J/pulse output and tested with a xenon flash lamp driver consisting of a main pulse circuit and a simmer circuit.
