High Power Discharge Lamps and Their Photochemical Applications: An Evaluation of Pulsed Radiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past decades, gas discharge lamps have gained widespread use in industrial applications. Due to their unique design properties concerning spectral, electrical and geometrical features, all types of gas discharge lamps can been found in technical applications. Mercury based lamps are the workhorses in many applications upgraded by their relatives, the metal halide versions. The low and medium pressure mercury lamps are usually used as sources of UV radiation. Low pressure mercury lamps are used extensively for disinfection of drinking water, packing material and air. Medium pressure lamps are applied in printing industry to dry inks and cure adhesives, in waste water treatment plants to reduce the total organic compounds (TOC) and as a competing technology to low pressure versions in germicidal applications. Metal halide doped versions of medium and high pressure mercury lamps open the possibility to adjust spectral output to specific requirements.

Legionella infections caused by contaminated water are a widespread problem worldwide. Discharge lamps like mercury vapor lamps are widely known for the disinfection properties of their radiation, but they suffer technical disadvantages, like high voltages and toxic content, and are, therefore, not suitable for some infection control applications. New high-intensity ultraviolet (UV) an...

Iranians are replacing traditional incandescent lamps with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), because they use about a quarter of the power of incandescent lamps and their lifecycle is up to ten times longer. Government encourages public to use CFLs too, for saving energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Small amounts of mercury are used in CFLs, released to the environment if they are bro...

Fluorescent lamps were first introduced to the world in the 1939 World’s Fair. They are low-pressure mercury discharge lamps. Since then, the fluorescent lamps have been the mainly lighting source due to their merits of high color rendering, soft-visualization, long life, and energy-saving. Unfortunately, however, all gas discharge lamps cannot directly connect to a voltage source and require a...

With the rising need for microfabricated chip-scale atomic clocks to enable high precision timekeeping in portable applications, there has been active interest in developing miniature (<few cm), chip-scale alkali vapor lamps, since vapor plasma discharge sources are currently the standard for optical pumping in double-resonance clocks. We reported in 2012 a first microfabricated chip-scale Rubi...
