  • the input has a waveform as shown in FIG. 2a.
  • the optical output from the discharge lamp such as a xenon discharge lamp has a waveform as shown in FIG. 21;. That is, the optical output has such a nature that an abrupt luminescence takes place at the rising portion of a waveform with which luminescence should persist over a certain period, and the Iuminescence decreases transiently in about 20 msec. and does not show any appreciable increase thereafter.
  • the waveform seen in FIG. 2b differs conspicuously from the transmitted waveform seen in FIG. 2a and can not therefore be used in the existing form.

  • the undesirable rising characteristic seen in FIG. 2b can be obviated and the reduction in the vicinity of 20 msec. is not so appreciable.
  • this method has the disadvantage of reducing the high-frequency components of an original picture to be transmitted, which is followed by deterioration of the resolution.
  • the present invention overcoming the prior defect proposes a novel method according to which a waveform as shown in FIG. 4a is subjected to modulation by a carrier wave, and the carrier wave which is left to give a waveform as shown in FIG. 4b or 4c is used to energize a discharge lamp such as a xenon discharge lamp so as to obtain an output which takes the waveform of FIG. 40 again.
  • This method is advantageous in that any reduction in the optical output at its rising portion as seen in FIG. 2b does not occur. Since the luminescent characteristic of the lamp can be fully developed and steep pulses of light can thereby be obtained, the quantity of the optical output does not show an appreciable reduction even though the carrier wave is left in the signal. Furthermore, any practical inconvenience would not be caused when the carrier wave is selected to have a frequency such that there are more than l0 pulses per mm. of a reproduced picture.

  • the discharge lamp 17 requires a minimum holding current in order that its luminous state can be sustained, and any reduction in the discharge current from the minimum results in arc extension whereby modulation is ceased. Therefore, I, must naturally be larger than the holding current, but an excessive increase in the value of I, is undesirable since the degree of modulation of light is thereby reduced. Further, the luminous discharge at a low current density in the vicinity of the holding current is generally unstable, and persistence of such an unstable state for a long period of time may sometimes result in extinction of the arc. Because of the above fact, persistence of a no-signal state as shown by a period p-q in FIG. 6a has been undesirable in a conventional system of amplitude modulation, since the arc becomes unstable during this period. A suitable means for stabilizing the circuit is inevitably required in the conventional system in order to continuously effect a stable discharge.
