Abstract

A short-arc flashlamp of the type having an internally integral reflector including an anode and cathode member mounted to extend along a central axis of symmetry of the lamp and having distal ends spaced apart to define a short-arc gap. The lamp is driven by current pulses such that the average peak currents across the arc gap exceed about one hundred amperes in pulses ranging from about two to ten microseconds.
