Abstract:
A high-pressure glow discharge lamp (1) having a planar discharge vessel (2) which is sealed in a vacuumtight manner, which surrounds a discharge space (3) filled with a gas mixture which forms excimers, and whose parallel walls (4, 5) are formed from a dielectric material. The surfaces (6, 7) of the walls (4, 5) remote from the discharge space (3) are provided with planar electrodes (8, 9). At least one (5) of these walls with its associated electrode (8) is at least partly transparent to the generated radiation. The gas mixture includes at least one of the rare gases Xe, Kr and Ar for forming an excimer and at least one of the halogens I.sub.2, Br.sub.2, Cl.sub.2 and F.sub.2. The partial pressure of the substance forming the excimer is at least 10 and at most 600 mbar in the case of Xe and/or Kr and at least 10 and at most 1000 mbar in the case of Ar. The partial pressure of the halogen is between 0.05 and 5% of the partial pressure of the substance forming the excimer. The atomic mass of the substance forming the excimer is greater than the atomic mass of the halogen. The lamp has a high radiant efficacy and can be constructed as a large-area, homogeneously emitting radiant source.

Abstract:
An electrodeless high pressure discharge lamp is described. The lamp includes a resonating body configured to provide microwave energy and a discharge vessel, the discharge vessel containing a fill that forms a light-emitting plasma when receiving the microwave energy. The lamp further includes an outer bulb surrounding the discharge vessel. The lamp further includes a support structure within the outer bulb, the support structure comprising a plurality of wires forming a cage, wherein each end of each of the plurality of wires are directed to either end of the discharge vessel. The lamp further includes a first wire structure configured to hold the discharge vessel in place within the cage and surrounding each end of the discharge vessel.
Abstract:
The lamp uses a sealing system with a ceramic supporting element (17) having a short length LA together with a W—Nb leadthrough part (18, 19, 20) and a specially adapted glass solder (21), which is based on an Al2O3 rare earth oxide system. In this case, the W part is accommodated in the supporting part over a length LW of 1 mm, and the aspect ratio LW/DUW, formed from the length LW and the diameter DUW of the W part, is at least 10.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a mercury-free low pressure discharge lamp with a discharge vessel having an ionizable filling. The surface temperature of the discharge vessel, and thus the temperature of the ionizable filling, can be adjusted at least in some sections such that an emitting substance can produce the radiation required for the excitation of the luminescent substance. The temperature of the fluid is preferably adjusted in a temperature control circuit, using a temperature sensor, a pump and a heating device.
Abstract:
Laminates, which are used for cooling the discharge vessel, are fitted to the seals of the ceramic discharge vessel. They are an integral part of the seal.
Abstract:
The operating method is based on the simultaneous use of FM and AM and is distinguished by passing through a number of steps which are used to find an optimum frequency for the AM and, in addition, to define an optimum AM level. An electronic ballast which has a memory module which can be overwritten is used for implementation.
Abstract:
The high pressure discharge lamp is fitted with a discharge vessel that has an inside volume with an inside length IL and a maximum inside diameter ID, and that is subdivided into a middle region of constant inside diameter ID and two end regions of variable inside diameter, an electrode projecting into the discharge vessel in the end region in each case. In addition, the discharge vessel has an aspect ratio of 2.5 to 8, preferably 3 to 6, the end region exhibiting a given length LRD in which the inside diameter is reduced to at least 85% of ID.
Abstract:
The operating method is based on the simultaneous application of FM and AM. In this process, the fundamental frequency of the AM is derived from at least one, preferably the second, longitudinal mode. In continuous operation of the lamp, the color temperature is set for a prescribed power by setting the AM degree controllably.
