Sealed Beam Xenon Lamp.

Abstract

The purpose of the program was to demonstrate the achievement of a capability for producing 1.0 kilowatt sealed beam xenon lamps. The sealed beam xenon lamp is a pressurized optical device consisting of a pair of electrodes, an optical window, a reflector, and a metal ceramic body. The cathode electrode is made of thoriated tungsten and the anode is fabricated from pure tungsten bar. The lamp has an integral reflector, the position of which is optimized for maximum light output through the sapphire window. The lamps built during this contract require a high voltage pulse for ignition.
