An illumination area of at least 150mm is required, and the spatial uniformity of the light in the target plane must be equal or better than plus or minus 2 percent. The temporal stability of the light intensity must be better than or equal to plus or minus 1 percent. In addition to these three zones, the unit must be capable of providing extra light intensity of at least 10 milliwatts per square centimeter following wavelength ranges: 300 nm to 400 nm and 700 nm to 800 nm.
