In bipolar operation, all electrodes operate in certain phases of operation as cathodes.

  • the material thickness or the material itself could be chosen this way be that the device in the middle of the lamp cools more than on the Edge. Similarly, only in the middle could a thermally conductive Connection to a cooling device may be provided and the like. In particular, inhomogeneously arranged cooling fins can be used become.

The details of the electrode structure are not shown here, but to some extent in Figure 2 can be seen. For details of such silent rod discharge lamps reference is made to the document US Pat. No. 6,097,155.
  • this rod discharge lamp 1 internal electrodes generated potential distribution within the discharge vessel, namely the Glass tube, can be modulated by the designated 2 metal sheet.
  • This metal sheet has a comb-like shape extending vertically in FIG Structure, wherein the upper ends of the tines 3 of this comb structure abut the rod discharge lamp 1.

In the second example in FIG. 2 occurs this effect over the first example in Figure 1 amplified on that the tines 3 to the rod discharge lamp 1 each about a Quadrant circumference are guided around. You can also do this modulation clearly understand as effective electrode broadening.
