摘要:
A metal halide fill for a discharge lamp is provided that is comprised of mercury and a mixture of metal halide salts which includes magnesium iodide as a full or partial replacement for calcium iodide. The replacement of at least some of the calcium iodide improves the behavior of the molten salt condensate in the arc tube. In particular, the mixture of metal halide salts contains about 1 to about 50 mole percent sodium iodide, about 15 to about 50 mole percent of a rare earth iodide, about 10 to about 30 mole percent magnesium iodide, about 10 to about 25 mole percent of indium iodide, and about 0 to about 25 mole percent calcium iodide, wherein the sum of the amounts of calcium iodide and magnesium iodide in the mixture is from about 20 to about 45 mole percent.

A ceramic discharge vessel is provided wherein the vessel comprises a hollow body for enclosing a discharge and the hollow body is made of a polycrystalline dysprosium oxide containing a luminescent dopant that emits one or more visible light wavelengths when stimulated by radiation generated by the discharge. Preferably, the polycrystalline dysprosium oxide has been doped with one or more of europium, cerium, or terbium in an amount from about 0.1 to about 10 percent by weight on an oxide basis.

A method of making a fritless seal in a ceramic arc tube body comprises the steps of: (a) inserting a feedthrough into an opening in a ceramic arc tube body, the feedthrough being comprised of niobium or a niobium alloy; (b) heating the arc tube body to a first temperature in an inert gas to at least partially sinter the arc tube body, the inert gas being selected from the group of argon, neon, krypton, xenon and mixtures thereof; and (c) further sintering the arc tube body by heating to a second temperature in a hydrogen atmosphere to form a hermetic seal between the feedthrough and the ceramic arc tube body, wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.

A fluted feed-through for a discharge lamp includes a fluted ceramic core with plural channels and plural individual molybdenum or tungsten wires running in different ones of the plural channels. The wires are twisted together at the ends of the feed-through. The feed-through is insertable into a capillary tube of a ceramic discharge lamp. The wires of the feed-through have a different thermal coefficient of expansion than the ceramic discharge lamp. The wires are thin enough so that the absolute magnitude of the thermal coefficients of expansion is sufficiently small to prevent seal cracks and leaking.

A ceramic metal halide lamp is provided wherein the ceramic discharge vessel is comprised of dysprosium oxide. The lamp has a warm-up time that is less than about 50%, and preferably less than about one-third, of the warm-up time of a similarly constructed and operated lamp having a ceramic discharge vessel made of polycrystalline aluminum oxide.
