Complex Irradiation Testing

Complex Irradiation Facility (CIF / VUV)

The Complex Irradiation Facility is capable to simulate different UV sources, as well as proton and electron radiation under vacuum.

Recipient:
• Volume: 0.035 m³ (400 mm diameter)
• Pressure: <10^-8 mbar without VUV-simulator and <10^-6 mbar with VUV-simulator
• Irradiated diameter: 80 mm

Light sources:
• Sun simulator: 200 – 2150 nm (4.5kW/m²)
• Deuterium VUV source 112 – 400 nm (1.65 W/m²)
• Argon VUV source 40 – 410 nm (58 mW/m²)

Proton, electron source:
• Current at lower Energy Range (1 –10 keV): 1 – 100 nA
• Current at higher Energy Range (10 –100 keV): 0.1 – 100 μA

Specimen temperature control:
• Heating: Halogen emitter (600 W, 600 K)
• Cooling: Liquid Nitrogen (LN2, 80 K)
