    Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a gas discharge device which has a simple configuration, inexpensive, and has excellent luminous efficiency, for an ultraviolet or visible light source.The invention provides a gas discharge device in which first and second long electrodes extending toward either side along a longitudinal direction with a discharge gap interposed therebetween are provided outside of a back side flat surface of a thin glass tube, the thin glass tube filled with a discharge gas having a front side flat surface and the back side flat surface facing each other on a transverse section, wherein, starting with trigger discharge that is initially generated in the discharge gap as a result of a voltage increase when a voltage with a sine waveform or an inclined waveform is applied between both electrodes, the discharge gradually extends so as to move in the longitudinal direction of the electrodes. Ultraviolet light having high luminous efficiency and emission intensity is obtained from the flat surface at the front surface side by forming an ultraviolet phosphor layer in the thin glass tube and driving the device with a sine-wave voltage.

    Abstract: A laser-sustained plasma light source includes a plasma cell configured to contain a volume of gas. The plasma cell is configured to receive illumination from a pump laser in order to generate plasma within the volume of gas. The plasma emits broadband radiation. The plasma cell includes one or more transparent portions being at least partially transparent to at least a portion of illumination from the pump laser and at least a portion of the broadband radiation emitted by the plasma. The plasma cell also includes one or more nanostructured layers disposed on one or more surfaces of the one or more transparent portions of the plasma cell. The one or more nanostructure layers form a region of refractive index control across an interface between the one or more transparent portions of the plasma cell and an atmosphere.
