Abstract: A light source, with electrodes of alternating polarity attached to a substrate in an excimer ultraviolet (UV) lamp, for generating a plasma discharge between each of the electrodes. The shape of the substrate can shape and control the plasma discharge to reduce exposure of materials susceptible to attack by the halogens. The electrodes can be located such that the plasma discharge occurs in a region where it produces less contact of the halogens with the vulnerable areas of the lamp enclosure. The materials, such as the electrodes, substrate, and envelope, can be selected to withstand corrosive materials. In another embodiment, a plurality of sealed tubes, at least some of which contain an excimer gas are positioned between two electrodes.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a short arc discharge lamp which has a cathode electrode structure formed by solid-phase bonding a tip part made of thoriated tungsten to a body part made of tungsten. In the present invention, thorium can be reliably diffused onto the surface of the cathode electrode over a long period of time without stagnation of reduction of thorium oxide in the tip part. Therefore, satisfactory emission characteristics can be provided, whereby the arc stability is more reliable. The cathode electrode of the present invention is characterized in that potassium concentration of the body part is higher than potassium concentration of the tip part.

Abstract: A cold-cathode fluorescent lamp having high brightness with long life and an electrode for this lamp are offered. The electrode comprises a base and a covering layer that covers the surface of the base. The base is formed of one metal selected from nickel, a nickel alloy, iron, and an iron alloy. Consequently, a base having a shape, such as a cup, can be easily produced. The covering layer comprises (a) a surface layer made of tungsten or molybdenum and (b) a bonding layer that is made of zinc alloy and that is placed between the base and the surface layer. In comparison with nickel and iron, tungsten and molybdenum are resistant to sputtering, have a small work function, and have a high melting point. The presence of the bonding layer enables sufficient bonding between the surface layer and base. A cold-cathode fluorescent lamp provided with the foregoing electrode can suppress the reduction in brightness and the consumption of the electrode. Therefore, it has high brightness and long life.
