Abstract:
A discharge lamp comprises an enclosure in which a discharging gas is sealed, and a pair of electron-emitting members sealed in the enclosure between which a voltage is applied and each of which has, at its surface, a plurality of conductive micro-tips and an electron-emitting film which supports the plurality of conductive micro-tips and is made of a material whose secondary emission efficiency is higher than that of the material for the conductive micro-tips with respect to the discharging gas.
Abstract:
A fluorescent lamp having a capacitive coupling structure in the form of cylindrical ceramic tubes is packaged with an inverter circuit for driving the fluorescent lamp and supply nodes for applying a supply voltage to the inverter circuit. The inverter circuit can be a conventional inverter circuit, such as, for example, current-fed push-pull, voltage-fed push-pull, active clamped Flyback, and voltage-fed half-bridge inverter circuits.
Abstract:
In a discharge tube for use in a housing for a vacuum, an improved optical radiation source is formed by a cathode and a hollow anode. The hollow anode has at least one first surface defining a hollow, partly closed space. The first surface is disposed for cooperation with the cathode. The hollow anode also has at least one second surface that also could cooperate with the cathode. Only the first of the first and second surfaces is conductive. Electrodes are respectively connected to the cathode and hollow anode.
Abstract:
An electrode for laser stimulation lamps comprising an electrode element (2) of tungsten, a hollow cylindrical carrier body (3) of nickel or nickel alloy, and a mounting pin (6) of nickel, tungsten alloy, or nickel alloy. The parts are securely attached together. This construction reduces the variety of sizes and types of electrodes produced, facilitates subsequent manufacturing steps and improves mechanical stability by reducing overall weight. The electrode element (2) and the mounting pin (6) are seated at respectively opposite ends of the hollow cylindrical carrier, extending, at least in part, into the space defined by the hollow carrier and attached thereto.
Abstract:
High pressure sodium vapor lamps operated on sonic frequency pulses with short duty cycle in order to raise the color temperature are subject to arc instability near the electrodes and to overheating of the end closures, particularly that at the anode end when unidirectional pulsing is used. Stability and long life is achieved and overheating is prevented by using electrodes of cross-sectional area from 0.3 to 0.4 times the envelope cross section and lengthening the distance from closure to electrode tip so that the arc gap is less than 80% of the gas column length.
