Abstract: A lamp system includes an electric lamp having an internal reflector disposed within an envelope for redirecting light emitted from a filament away from a base of the lamp and onto the filament. Utilizing the internal reflector in this manner improves the efficiency and increases the life expectancy of the lamp by reducing the electrical current required to maintain an optimum temperature of the filament for producing light. Additionally, the ability to place the lamp filament in close proximity to the base of an external reflector alters the focal point of a lamp system incorporating the lamp, thereby allowing use of external reflectors of lesser bulk and diameter without sacrificing efficiency and intensity of the light beam emitted therefrom.

Abstract: Pixels for a large video display which employs solid-state emitters, such as colored light emitting diodes, as light source are formed by outfitting each colored solid state emitter within the pixel with an individually tailored miniature intensity-enhancing optical system. Each of these miniature optical systems comprises a set of four wide field-of-view Lambertian reflectors 34, a pair of narrow field-of-view Lambertian reflectors 36, and a beam-shaping lens 38. The miniature intensity-enhancing optical system can be specifically designed to restrict emission in the vertical field-of-view, while providing a Lambertian intensity dependence throughout an unrestricted horizontal view. For example, the field-of-view in the vertical direction may be limited to about ±30° while the field-of-view is about ±90° in the horizontal direction.

Abstract: The invention in accordance with one aspect is a method of determining aging of a light emitting device which is capable of selectively emitting light having different wavelengths corresponding to different channels for light transmission as a function of tuning current supplied to the device. A tuning current is applied to the device which results in a wavelength corresponding to a desired channel. The slope of a curve which is light power from the device as a function of tuning current is determined by dithering about the applied tuning current. The determined slope is compared with a prior determined value in order to detect any change from the prior value. The voltage derived from a light signal passing through an optical filter can also be measured and compared to a prior value. These values may be used to determine aging of the device and the filter.

Abstract: A short-arc high-pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp includes a pair of electrodes in an arc tube and encloses mercury, a rare gas, and so forth in the arc tube. The lamp is so constructed as to be operated at a lamp current of, for example, about 1.5 A or higher, or at a lamp voltage/lamp current ratio of about 37.5 (V/A) or lower. In addition, the distance between the electrodes, and the like are set so that the rated power per unit arc length P/d≧88 (W/mm) and the tube wall loading Pw (rated power P/internal surface area of the arc tube)≦1.0 (W/mm2). Thus, a lamp is constructed having, even with a relatively low lamp voltage, a high lamp power of, for example, 125 W or higher, having a short arc length and a high luminous flux per unit arc length, and furthermore being one in which damage to the arc tube does not occur.
