Abstract
An arc lamp includes a housing; an inert gas in the housing; a pair of spaced electrodes in the housing for establishing an arc in the gas to generate a radiation output; a window in the housing for transmitting forward radiation generated by the arc; and a spherical reflector on the opposite side of the electrodes from the window and having its center disposed in the arc for redirecting rearward radiation through the center to add to the forward radiation transmitted through the window.
