Modern ultraviolet technologies use in medicine, microelectronics, and military applications require an increase in efficiency of UV radiation generation by pulsed xenon discharges in the 200–300 nm spectral range. In this work, the estimates of brightness temperature are calculated. It was demonstrated that in order to achieve maximum radiation output in this spectral region, a brightness temperature of 20 000 K is needed. Investigation of mass-produced pulsed xenon lamps have revealed that their brightness temperature ranges from 7500 to 8500 K with an electric discharge power up to 1000 W. It has been found that the required brightness temperature can be obtained using pulsed short arc and capillary discharges. The main designs of these flash-lamps and the results of experiments on their spectral and electrical characteristics confirming the accuracy of the calculated estimates are presented. It was shown that in the case of a short arc flash-lamp filled with xenon at a pressure of 4 atm, the brightness temperature of 20 000 K is achieved, and in a capillary discharge filled with xenon at a pressure of 350 Torr the brightness temperature is 14 500 K. The main directions for improvement of the gas-discharge lamps under study, including the use of new materials and methods to maintain the discharge, are given.
