Definitions
- One embodiment includes a method of producing a series of light discharges from a gas discharge lamp.
- the gas discharge lamp contains a gas and has a cathode, an anode, and an ignition electrode. Individual discharges of the series are spaced at least one millisecond from each other. Each individual discharge is generated by providing two electrical pulses to the ignition electrode. The second of the two electrical pulses occurs within a short time from the first pulse.
- the electrical charge between the cathode and anode is of sufficient voltage and current to create an electrical arc between the cathode and the anode.
