Duration and Peak Candlepower of Some Electronic Flashlamps

Harold E. Edgerton, Robert Bonazoli, John T. Lamb

It is pointed out that the trend of modern electronic flash equipment is toward longer flash duration. After proposing a method of defining duration, an approximate method of calculating duration is given, together with resistance constants of commonly available flashtubes. Some information is given regarding the production of short flashes of light in the microsecond and submicrosecond range.
