Light and Light Sources P. Flesch Light and Light Sources High-Intensity Discharge Lamps With 226 Figures, 5 in Color , and 4 Tables 123 PD Dr.-Ing. Peter Flesch OSRAM GmbH Nonnendammallee 44-61 13629 Berlin Germany E-mail: Dedicated to my family Preface High-intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps, also high-pressure discharge lamps) are very important light sources for visible, UV, as well as IR radiation. They have captured a major share of the markets for automotive headlight lamps (D2 lamp), video projection (UHP lamp), general lighting, street/industrial lighting, commercial lighting, floodlighting, sun tanning, microscopy, endoscopy, photochemistry, lithography, etc. This renders HID lamps an interesting and seminal field of research. High-pressure discharge lamps are normally very small (typically 0.7 mm to some centimeters’ electrode gap), have short time scales (typical ac frequency: 50–500 Hz or higher), and the electrical power input lies between some tens and several thousand watts. This book is concerned with the understanding of these lamps. Beginning with the human eye and an explanation of light and color, the working principle of different light sources is explained and the light sources are compared with each other. Starting point is the incandescent lamp, then low- and high-pressure (high-intensity) discharge lamps are discussed in detail. Furthermore, a large part of this book deals with important subjects concerning HID lamps like electrode and plasma physics as well as the state of the art in HID lamp diagnostics and modeling. The aim of this book is to give an introduction to the working principle of HID lamps and to point out challenges and problems associated with the development and operation of high-pressure discharge lamps. This book is directed at students interested in high-pressure discharge lamps as well as persons already involved in the research and development or the usage of HID lamps.

This book is directed at students interested in high-pressure discharge lamps as well as persons already involved in the research and development or the usage of HID lamps. An overview of light and light sources is given in Chap. 1. This includes a short introduction to the human eye and to photometric characteristics of light sources as well as the discussion of different light sources, covering the sun, the incandescent lamp, and low-pressure and high-pressure discharge lamps. The laws of physics needed for the description and understanding of plasma and electrodes in HID lamps are the subject of Chap. 2. The plasma generates the light and must be heated to sufficiently high temperatures to achieve high efficiencies. The electrodes must supply the electric current to the plasma and must therefore have a high enough temperature, e.g., to emit electrons. On the other hand, the electrodes may cause an early end of life of the lamp, if they get too hot, or the melting of an electrode tip might change the electrode shape and thus alter the operating conditions of the lamp. The current research on HID lamps is the focus of Chaps. 3 and 4. Chapter 3 is concerned with the experimental investigations of high-pressure discharge lamps, namely electrode and plasma diagnostics, whereas numerical simulations of high- pressure discharge lamps are discussed in Chap. 4.
