Microplasma generators and associated arrays and methods are described herein. Certain embodiments relate to a microplasma generator in which an elongated semiconductor structure can control electronic cun'ent supplied to a microplasma cavity. Plasmas can be created by supplying energy to a neutral gas so that free electrons and ions are created. In a thermal plasma, electrons, ions, and neutral atoms and/or molecules (referred to as “neutrals”) are in thermal equilibrium

A mercury-free metal halide lamp for a vehicle according to an embodiment includes an airtight vessel 1 provided with a light-emitting part 11 with a discharge space 111 inside, a metal halide 2 and a rare gas sealed in the discharge space 111, and a pair of electrodes 32 disposed so that the tip ends of the respective electrodes 32 face each other in the discharge space 111. The electrodes 32 and the discharge space 111 do not contain thorium. When an electric power supplied to the lamp during a stable lighting period is represented by P (W), a value obtained by adding up the electric power supplied to the lamp during a period between 1 second and 40 seconds after the startup of the lamp is represented by WL (W), and the diameter of the electrodes 32 is represented by D (mm), P (W) satisfies 20≦P≦30 and WL/D (W/mm) satisfies 4300≦WL/D≦7400.

In various embodiments, a high-pressure discharge lamp is provided. The high-pressure discharge lamp may include a ceramic discharge vessel which encloses a discharge volume, wherein a filling containing sodium halides, rare earth halides, mercury and inert gas is accommodated in the discharge volume, wherein the filling at the same time includes the rare earths Tm and Gd, the relative proportions between Gd and Tm, considered as a molar ratio, lying in the range 0.1 to 1.
摘要:
The invention provides a metal halide lamp 1 wherein the concentration of the filling components fulfill a condition according to claim 1. Such a lamp is found to be a good alternative to existing high-pressure discharge lamps (Ceramic Discharge Metal halide lamps) based on rare earth fillings or other metal halide fillings. In addition, such a lamp can be dimmed without a substantial shift of the color point. Such a lamp can also have photometric properties that are substantially independent of the arrangement of the lamp and/or the external temperature.

Disclosed herein are lamps which comprises a discharge vessel comprised of a ceramic material; at least one electrode extending into the discharge vessel; an ionizable fill sealed within the discharge vessel, the fill comprising Hg, a buffer gas component, and a halide component comprising at least an alkali metal halide component and a rare earth halide component; a source of available oxygen; and a metallic component. The discharge vessel defines an interior space which comprises available oxygen during lamp operation conditions. Also disclosed herein are associated methods for making and using such lamps. Disclosed advantages may include mitigating some of the deleterious effects of highly electronegative species, enhanced lumens, and balancing the level of available oxygen for wall cleaning.

摘要:
An extra-high pressure mercury lamp includes an arc tube made of quartz glass. The lamp includes an arc tube portion and sealing portions connected to the arc tube portion, and encloses 0.15 mg/mm3 or more of mercury. A pair of electrodes are disposed face to face in the arc tube. Each electrode has a rod portion and a base end portion. The base end portion of each electrode is embedded in one of the sealing portions. One of the pair of electrodes serves as a cathode and includes a head portion, which has a larger diameter than the rod portion. A cylinder portion is connected to a rear end portion of the head portion. The cylinder portion extends in the axis direction of the electrode and surrounds the rod portion. The cylinder portion has an inner surface separated from the rod portion.

The present invention is a novel, high resolution, color, three-dimensional (3-D) volumetric display system for dynamic images—the video cube. The video cube consists of an air-tight glass cube filled with a gas mixture and multiple planes of thin wires arranged in alternating orthogonal layers. These wires may be set at voltage potentials capable of producing a glow discharge at the intersection of pairs of wires. Using a computer capable of storing dynamic image data and electronic controllers capable of energizing pairs of wires appropriately at the proper time 3-D dynamic images may be formed from multiple glows between excited wire pairs. The video cube may be used to display complex real-time information from computers and other digital processors with high accuracy for unlimited number of simultaneous unaided observers.
