Abstract:
The invention relates to a low-pressure gas discharge lamp which includes at least one discharge vessel and at least two capacitive coupling-in structures and operates at an operating frequency f. In order to achieve a better efficiency in combination with a small structural volume, a high luminous flux, a low operating voltage, a low electromagnetic emission, a high resistance against switching transients and a long service life for the low-pressure gas discharge lamp, it is proposed to form each capacitive coupling-in structure from at least one dielectric having a thickness d and a dielectric constant null, each dielectric being subject to the condition d/(f.null)

A lamp system with a reflector includes a high pressure discharge lamp and a reflector. The reflector has a first opening located in a forward position of the reflector with respect to a light-emission direction and a second opening into which a sealing portion is inserted. The sealing portion has a first glass portion extending from a luminous bulb and a second glass portion provided in at least a portion inside the first glass portion, and the sealing portion has a portion to which a compressive stress is applied. When the sealing portion is disposed in a substantially horizontal direction, a microcavity is formed in at least a lower portion of the luminous bulb.
Abstract:
Arc tube (10) has a bulbous body (12) with a hollow center portion (14) and opposite ends (16, 18). Each of these ends has a cylindrical terminal-receiving section (20, 22) extending therefrom. The hollow center portion (14) has an internal length A and an internal diameter B that provides an aspect ratio of less than 5 and an outer surface area to inner surface area ratio, measured in square units, of less than 1.5. Electrodes (24) and (26) are hermetically sealed in the terminal-receiving sections (20, 22). The lamp uses less than 7 mgs of mercury. The low pressure operation allows the use of the arc tube in lamps without a shroud and the low mercury allow the lamp to pass TCLP requirement and be conventionally landfilled.
Abstract:
A short arc discharge lamp has improved starting properties in which there is no danger of damaging the arc tube that surrounds a discharge space and in which the radiant light from the arc tube is not adversely shielded. This is achieved by providing the short arc discharge lamp with a first electrode having an electrical potential and to which a high voltage is applied, and a second electrode opposite the first at a in spaced relationship. Additionally, in the discharge space, there is positioned at least one conductive component with a tip projecting into the discharge space. The conductive component has an electrical potential which is identical to the electrical potential of the first electrode and has a tip spaced a distance from the second electrode which is greater than the distance between the first and the second electrode.

The high-pressure discharge lamp of the present invention includes: a discharge chamber that is formed in a silica glass tube, a pair of electrodes that are arranged with ends confronting each other in the discharge chamber; metal foil parts that are superposed and bonded to the other ends of the electrodes, and sealing sections for hermetically sealing the discharge chamber and which are parts for embedding the other ends of the electrodes and the metal foil parts in the glass at the two ends of the silica glass tube. The electrodes and the metal foil parts are embedded in the glass in a state in which metal coils are wrapped around the vicinities of the junctions of the electrodes and metal foil parts. The ends of the metal foil parts on the electrode side are further formed as tapered portions. In addition, the tips of the tapered portions on the electrode side are positioned, with respect to their direction of width, within the width in the radial direction of the electrodes.

In a discharge lamp which has a silica glass discharge vessel with an arc tube portion and hermetically sealed portions in which in the hermetically sealed portions of this discharge vessel metal foils are installed and hermetically sealed areas are formed, in accordance with the invention has a high endurance of the sealing action in the hermetically sealed areas and thus a long service life is obtained by a coating layer being formed on at least one side of the respective metal foil. The coating layer is formed from at least one metal oxide which is selected from titanium oxide, lanthanum oxide, tantalum oxide, zirconium dioxide which can contain yttrium oxide, and from hafnium dioxide which can contain yttrium oxide. Furthermore, the metal oxide which forms the coating layer is advantageously crystalline, and moreover, can be formed over a base layer which is made of aluminum oxide or yttrium oxide.
Abstract:
The electric high-pressure discharge lamp has tungsten electrodes (2) in a light-transmitting lamp vessel (1) which is closed in a gastight manner. The electrodes (2) comprise an emitter, preferably in the form of an inner coiled-coil (14), which is loosely retained in a cavity (12) of a basket (6) of the electrode (2). The inner coil (14) acts as a non-oxidic emitter. The lamp retains its initial light output to a high degree throughout its life.
Abstract:
Since an internal surface of an arc ball receiving recess, which greatly affects the shape of an arc ball, is formed in an arcuate cross section swelling outward, the arc ball can be formed so as to be received in the arc ball receiving recess in front of a focusing opening of a slit shape, whereby the arc ball can be formed in a well-regulated form. Therefore, the arc ball with uniform luminance distribution in the longitudinal direction of the slit focusing opening can be made with certainty in the arc ball receiving recess.
