Abstract

An arc tube is formed by polycrystalline alumina so that an average crystal grain diameter of a surface is two to ten times as large as an average crystal grain diameter of an inside including a center line of a thickness and the average crystal grain diameter on the center portion of the thickness is 10 &mgr;m to 100 &mgr;m. As a result, in the arc tube, the total transmittance is 98%, and a linear ray transmittance is 5%.
