Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a fluorescent lamp, in particular to a fluorescent lamp emitting vacuum ultraviolet light. Background technique
[0002] Conventionally, it is preferable to use ultraviolet rays for photochemical reactions, sterilization, decomposition of organic substances, and the like. A low-pressure mercury lamp is often used as a light source of the ultraviolet rays, but recently, as in JP-A-2001-015078 (Patent Document 1), fluorescent lamps utilizing dielectric barrier discharge have also been proposed.
[0003] In the fluorescent lamp described in this patent document 1, a rare gas is sealed inside a luminous tube, and by generating a discharge that interposes a dielectric between a pair of electrodes, the rare gas is excited to emit ultraviolet light (vacuum ultraviolet light), and the luminous gas is excited on the inner surface of the luminous tube. The phosphor formed on the entire surface can obtain ultraviolet light in a predeterm...
