Ablative light sources.
Electrical and optical properties of ablative light sources are discussed. For the range of parameters studied, the energy balance shows that it is possible to obtain approximately one-third of the energy delivered to the lamp as radiative energy (in the 0.35-1.1-micro band); two-thirds are used in the buildup processes of the discharge. The over-all characteristics of ablative sources should permit useful technical applications.
