Enhanced escape rate for Hg 254 nm resonance radiation in fluorescent lamps
نویسندگان
چکیده
The potential of the low-cost MAGIS isotopic separation method to improve fluorescent lamp efficacy is explored using resonance radiation transport simulations. New Hg isotopic mixes are discovered that yield escape rates for 254 nm Hg I resonance radiation equal to 117% to 122% of the rate for a natural isotopic mix under the same lamp conditions.

A Monte Carlo simulation of radiation trapping in electrodeless gas discharge lamps
Radiation trapping and transport are important to the power balance of low pressure non-equilibrium plasma lighting sources. This is particularly the case for radio frequency inductively coupled lamps having complex geometries and where control of radiation trapping is an important design consideration. To investigate these issues, a Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation was developed and ...
متن کاملAction spectrum for healing of psoriasis.
To the Editor, In their recent review on the mechanisms of ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy, Weichenthal and Schwarz (1) comment that radiation in the spectral range between 311 and 313 nm clears psoriasis better than other wavelengths. Similar statements appear not infrequently in publications concerning TL-01 narrowband lamps. We suggest that the limited experimental data on wavelength depend...
متن کاملLight Spectrum of Compact Fluorescent Lamps in Iranian Market and Possibility of Hydroxyl Radical Production
Background and purpose: Despite growing use of energy-saving lamps or compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), there are concerns about ultraviolet radiation in their output. In this study, the output of CFLs available in Iranian market in the range of infrared, visible, and ultraviolet were measured and the possibility of hydroxyl radical production by their radiation was evaluated. Materials and me...
