Abstract:
A lamp holder for a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) lamp (1), especially for use in a treatment system or reactor or housing or in an irradiation apparatus, for radiating a medium like a fluid and/or a gas and/or a solid material by means of the DBD lamp (1) is disclosed. The holder substantially comprises two end caps (21, 31) at the axial ends of the lamp (1) and an inner electrode (23, 24; 33, 34) with a screw fitting (SF) for exerting an axial pressure on both axial ends of the lamp (I) via both end caps (21, 31) and with axial b ores (25, 35) into an inner volume (14) for guiding especially a cooling medium and for electrically contacting an inner tube (II) of the lamp (1). The holder has a comparatively simple construction and can easily be assembled. Furthermore, even larger tolerances of the lamp length can be compensated and a reliable sealing of the inner volume (14) against the outside of the lamp (1) is achieved.
Abstract:
An apparatus of light source includes a cathode structure, an anode structure, a fluorescent layer, a secondary electron generating layer, and a low-pressure gas layer. The fluorescent layer is located between the cathode structure and the anode structure. The low-pressure gas layer is filled between the cathode structure and the anode structure. The secondary electron generating layer is located on the cathode structure. The secondary electron generating layer can generate additional secondary electrons to hit the fluorescent layer for improving the performance of the light source.
Abstract:
The subject of the present invention is a system incorporating a DBD lamp (1), a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD-) lamp (1), and a phosphor coating (2) for use as luminescent coating in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD-) lamp (1), especially in a mercury-free DBD-lamp, comprising several phosphor grains (3a) together forming a luminescent coating layer (3) for converting a primary discharge radiation into a wanted radiation, whereby the phosphor coating (2) comprises a protective coating layer (4) at least partly surrounding the luminescent coating layer (3) for minimizing degradation of the luminescent coating layer (3) during use in a DBD-lamp (1).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dielectric barrier discharge lamp (1) of coaxial double tube configuration. Arranged inside the inner tube (3) is an inner electrode (6) that is designed in the form of a flexible, electrically conductive brush. The brush-type electrode (6) can be produced relatively easily and can be introduced effectively into the inner tube (3) because of the flexibility.

The illuminating light source includes: a vacuum tube have a cylindrical shape, is filled with a discharging gas, and has a light emitting portion disposed in a lengthwise direction thereof; a discharging electrode disposed upon the vacuum tube, and having a width that increases from a center portion to end portions thereof; and a fluorescent body disposed within the vacuum tube, to absorb first light beams emitted by the discharging gas and to emit second light beams having a longer wavelength than the first light beams, with the second light beams being illuminated through the light emitting portion.
Abstract:
A flat or substantially flat luminous structure including two walls having main faces facing one another and defining an internal space, a light source placed in the internal space and a power supply for the light source, and at least one substantially transparent part or an overall transparent part forming at least one light well. The structure is capable of illuminating via at least one luminous region of at least one of the main faces, an element having a reflective surface that reflects visible light, placed facing at least one part of the luminous region. The element is switchable and the reflective surface is capable of becoming a substantially transparent surface or an overall transparent surface over at least one area, and vice versa.

First and second electrodes for the light source generate electric field lines with at least one component perpendicular to the first and second electrodes, the first electrode supplied or configured to be supplied with a high frequency electromagnetic signal. As an outer covering for the first electrode, an electrical safety system includes an electrical conductor separated from the first electrode by a dielectric, the conductor connected or configured to be connected to a power supply with a potential V and/or with a frequency f, these being adjusted so that the peak value of the external leakage current is equal to 2 mA or less if f is zero, or equal to 0.7 mA or less if f is nonzero.

An image sensor unit has an electric discharge light emitting lamp for producing an illumination beam. The lamp includes a first electrode and a second electrode facing each other and defining a discharge space between them along the longitudinal axis of the lamp. A first light emitting layer and a second light emitting layer are provided in the discharge space so as to face each other and to cover the first and second electrodes, respectively. A dielectric material is inserted between the first electrode and the first light emitting layer, and between the second electrode and the second light emitting layer. At least one of the first and second light emitting layers is arranged so as to define an uncovered region, in which at least one of the dielectric material, the first electrode, and the second electrode is exposed to the discharge space.

An anode electrode 10 is composed of a straight elongated cylindrical body, and the outer periphery of the cylindrical body is covered with a dielectric body 12. Further, a cathode portion 20 has a straight semicylindrical shape. A cathode 25 surrounds the anode, and the anode and cathode are disposed parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction. Further, the cathode comprises a cathode wire group 16. Both ends of the cathode wire group are fixed to both ends 20D in the longitudinal direction of the semicylindrical body constituting the cathode portion, so that a plurality of wires become parallel to each other. A reflective surface for reflecting irradiation in a vacuum ultraviolet region is formed on the surface 20S of the cathode portion at the side facing the anode.
