Solutions for producing 185 nm Vacuum UV light? From Gemini 3: > The "28-W source" mentioned in that research is almost certainly a Low-Pressure Mercury Amalgam Lamp (which naturally emits at 185 nm and 254 nm) or a Xenon Excimer Lamp (172 nm). These gas-discharge lamps are currently 100x more efficient than any experimental 185 nm LED. [...] To generate a 185 nm photon, an LED needs a semiconductor bandgap of ~6.7 eV. [...] VUV reactor [...] VACNTs inside a glass tube filled with a noble gas (like Argon [126 nm] or Xenon [172 nm])
