High pressure lamp and associated operating method for resonant operation of high pressure lamps in the longitudinal mode, and an associated system

TLDR
In this paper, a high pressure discharge lamp is fitted with a discharge vessel that has an inside volume with an inside length IL and a maximum inside diameter ID, and that is subdivided into a middle region of constant inside diameter IL and two end regions of variable inside diameter, an electrode projecting into the discharge vessel in each case.
Abstract
The high pressure discharge lamp is fitted with a discharge vessel that has an inside volume with an inside length IL and a maximum inside diameter ID, and that is subdivided into a middle region of constant inside diameter ID and two end regions of variable inside diameter, an electrode projecting into the discharge vessel in the end region in each case. In addition, the discharge vessel has an aspect ratio of 2.5 to 8, preferably 3 to 6, the end region exhibiting a given length LRD in which the inside diameter is reduced to at least 85% of ID.
