Abstract

The main directions in improving the color rendering index of a high-pressure sodium discharge are analyzed theoretically. The spectral characteristics of the sodium-mercury column in the pulsed and ac modes are compared. The effect of an increase in the xenon pressure and the introduction of rubidium and cesium into the charge on the radiation characteristics of pulsed sodium lamps is studied.
