Abstract: A cell for a vacuum ultraviolet plasma light source, the cell having a closed sapphire tube containing at least one noble gas. Such a cell does not have a metal housing, metal-to-metal seals, or any other metal flanges or components, except for the electrodes (in some embodiments). In this manner, the cell is kept to a relatively small size, and exhibits a more uniform heating of the gas and cell than can be readily achieved with a hybridized metal/window cell design. These designs generally result in higher plasma temperatures (a brighter light source), shorter wavelength output, and lower optical noise due to fewer gas convection currents created between the hotter plasma regions and surrounding colder gases. These cells provide a greater amount of output with wavelengths in the vacuum ultraviolet range than do quartz or fused silica cells. These cells also produce continuous spectral emission well into the infrared range, making them a broadband light source.

Abstract: A flat fluorescent lamp includes a lamp body and first external electrodes. The lamp body has discharge spaces formed therein. The first external electrodes are disposed at a first end portion of an outer surface of the lamp body and a second end portion that is opposite to the first end portion to define a first region where the discharge spaces overlap the first external electrodes and a second region where the discharge spaces do not overlap the first external electrodes. Each of the discharge spaces has a first width at the first region and a second width that is smaller than the first width at the second region. Therefore, an overlapping region between the first external electrodes and the discharge space increases to lower the discharge voltage.
