High-Brightness Xenon Compact Arc Lamp

William T. Anderson

Xenon compact arc lamps have been developed which have high brightnesses, spectral-energy distributions in the visible spectrum resembling closely that of sunlight, and color temperatures of 5200 to 6000 K. A 1000-w lamp for a-c operation is described and its characteristics enumerated. When these lamps are operated on suitable a-c electrical circuits, they may be used very satisfactorily in portable equipment for projection of 16mm film by Cinema Scope and 3-D optical systems.
