A xenon arc lamp is a highly specialized type of gas discharge lamp, an electric light that produces light by passing electricity through ionized xenon gas at high pressure. It produces a bright white light to simulate sunlight , with applications in movie projectors in theaters , in searchlights , and for specialized uses in industry and research.
Gas-discharge lamps are a family of artificial light sources that generate light by sending an electric discharge through an ionized gas, a plasma. Typically, such lamps use a noble gas ( argon , neon , krypton , and xenon ) or a mixture of these gases.
HID lamps produce different colors of light primarily through the use of various metal additives in the lamp's arc tube and the physics of the gas discharge process. [11] Metal Additives: HID lamps contain an arc tube filled with a mixture of gases, including a noble gas (like xenon). These metal additives are crucial for producing different ...
Helical xenon flashtube emitting greybody radiation as white light. (Animated version below.) A flashtube (flashlamp) produces an electrostatic discharge with an extremely intense, incoherent, full-spectrum white light for a very short time. A flashtube is a glass tube with an electrode at each end and is filled with a gas that, when triggered ...
Xenon short-arc lamp Space Shuttle Atlantis bathed in xenon lights Xenon gas discharge tube. Xenon is used in light-emitting devices called xenon flash lamps, used in photographic flashes and stroboscopic lamps; [21] to excite the active medium in lasers which then generate coherent light; [141] and, occasionally, in bactericidal lamps. [142]
Gas-filled tubes exploit phenomena related to electric discharge in gases, and operate by ionizing the gas with an applied voltage sufficient to cause electrical conduction by the underlying phenomena of the Townsend discharge. A gas-discharge lamp is an electric light using a gas-filled tube; these include fluorescent lamps, metal-halide lamps ...
A krypton long arc lamp (top) is shown above a xenon flashtube. The two lamps, used for laser pumping, are very different in the shape of the electrodes, in particular, the cathode (on the left). An arc lamp or arc light is a lamp that produces light by an electric arc (also called a voltaic arc).
