Xenon Projection Lamps: A Résumé

Don V. Kloepfel

During the 1954 Photokina in Germany the Zeiss-Ikon Company exhibited a motion-picture projector lamphouse designed to be used with a xenon high-pressure lamp. Since that time the use of the xenon lamp as a projector light source has been constantly increasing. A survey was undertaken to determine some of the lamp's distinctive characteristics under typical operation. Data supplied by the survey are presented in this paper, which emphasizes aspects of the xenon lamp in practical projection operation, rather than technical details of the xenon gas discharge lamp and auxiliary equipment.
