Abstract
A resonance lamp having a controllable chemical decomposition source of a parent species and a chemical getter sink in a sealed RF excited discharge. The discharge occurs in a second, extremely pure gas which is present in great excess over the gas produced by chemical decomposition. Excitation of species whose emission is desired occurs by electron impact or energy transfer from the major species which are, in turn, excited by the electron impact.
