This paper focuses on the spectral properties and the impact resistances of composite quartz tubes and cerium doped quartz tubes used in the driving optical components of Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) laser facility. The spectral transmittances were tested on the selected samples, new composite quartz tube, new cerium doped quartz tube, 14 000 shot composite quartz tube and 14 000 shot cerium doped quartz lamp tube and their spectral properties were compared. It show that the spectral properties of the composite quartz tube and cerium doped quartz tube have all reached spectral index of the high power pulse xenon lamp, and the spectral propeprty of cerium doped quartz tube is about 1% higher than that of composite quartz tube. A composition test of composite quartz tube and cerium doped quartz tube was carried out to verify the tested results.It indicates that the content of metal impurities in cerium doped quartz tube is lower than that of composite quartz tube, which is one of the reasons to explain the phenomenon mentioned above. Finally, the xenon lamp discharge operation was simulated, the impact resistance tests for the composite quartz tube and the cerium doped quartz tube were carried out. The experimental result demonstrates that the shock resistance of the composite quartz tube is about 6% higher than that of cerium doped quartz tube.
