Enhanced Afterglow in Neon by Removal of Electrical Excitation.
An unusual increase in light output results when a neon strobe tube is suddenly short-circuited during the transient. Experimental measurements have been made of the emitted light from the discharge when the capacitor is short-circuited at different times after the initiation of the discharge.
