	Gas-discharge lamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gas discharge lamps are a family of artificial light sources that generate light by sending an electric current through noble gas (mixture)(Argon, Neon, Krypton and Xenon, or mixtures of these gases).
		In operation the gas is ionized, and free electrons, accelarated by the electrical field in the tube, collide with gas and metal atoms.
		Gas discharge lamps offer long life and high light efficiency, but are more complicated to manufacture, and they require electronics to provide the correct current flow through the gas.

	Chemical of the Week -- Gases that emit light
		When a voltage is applied to the two electrodes and the pressure of the gas in the tube is reduced, eventually a pressure is reached at which a current flows, and the gas begins to glow.
		In some discharge lamps, the pressure of the gas during operation is 1 to 2 atmospheres.
		The presence of helium in the discharge tube increases the intensity of neon's emission by a factor of 200.

		principle of gas laser: basically a gas laser consists of a gas whose atoms or molecules are raised to a higher energy states, and an "inversion" extis between a certain pair of energy levels in the gas.

	Experiments to Study the Gaseous Discharge and Filling of Vessels
		Discharge of the vessel occurs when the fast-acting toggle clamp is actuated, removing the sealing plug from the face of the nozzle.
		This discharge occurs in a little over 2 sec (approximately five characteristic times), and the data are seen to agree well with the adiabatic theoretical results for the entire duration of the process.
		During the initial stages of the discharge, the data follow the adiabatic theory quite closely, as there is little time elapsed and only a small temperature difference between the gas and vessel walls, so that significant heat transfer does not occur.

	Introduction to Gas Discharge Tubes and Cold Cathode X-ray Tubes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		A wide variety of gas discharge tubes were in use prior to the discovery (in 1895) of x-rays, e.g., Geissler, Crookes, Hittorf, and Lenard tubes.
		Following the discovery of x-rays, the design of these gas discharge tubes was altered so as to maximize and control their x-ray output.
		In later tube designs (e.g., 1910+), the positions of the anode and anticathode were often reversed so that the anode came in from the side and the anticathode came in from the end of the tube opposite the cathode.

	HYDROTHERMAL ACTIVITY AND CARBON-DIOXIDE DISCHARGE AT SHRUB AND UPPER KLAWASI MUD VOLCANOES, WRANGELL MOUNTAINS, ALASKA
		Chemical and isotopic compositions of the gas and water discharging at Shrub and Upper Klawasi indicate derivation from a combination of mantle (magmatic) and crustal (marine sedimentary rock) sources and suggest a common fluid reservoir at depth.
		C in CO are similar for fluids and gas sampled at each area, and do not appear to have changed with the onset of increased spring temperatures and fluid discharge at Shrub.
		This suggests that the underlying cause of the recent changes in discharge rate and temperature at Shrub is not an increase in the rate of input of magmatic heat and volatiles, but rather increases in the permeability of the upflow conduits that connect the gas-rich reservoir to the surface.

		This gas tube surge arrestor is broadband RF devices that are capable of allowing a dc bias to pass along the center conductor, while shunting the lower frequencies associated with lightning induced transients to ground.
		In the presence of a lightning-type transient, the gas within the element ionizes and switches the gas tube to a low impedance state.
		Gas tube elements can divert lightning surge currents reaching a peak of 10 kA to ground without causing any degradation to the element.

		The buildup of high voltages by wind and rain is a fairly continuous process, the rate of charge accumulation increasing under the proper atmospheric conditions.
		However, once a certain threshold voltage is exceeded (this voltage depends on the gas pressure and geometry of the lamp), the neon gas will become ionized (turned into a plasma) and its resistance dramatically reduced.
		The result is a series of brief flashes of light from the lamp, the rate of which dictated by battery voltage, resistor resistance, capacitor capacitance, and lamp threshold voltage.

		The heat of the gas discharge serves to vaporise some of the metal, and the discharge is then carried almost exclusively by the metal vapour.

		When a transient voltage occurs on the power/signal line that exceeds the "breakdown" voltage of the GDT, the gas inside the cylinder ionizes and begins to conduct electricity.
		It is the voltage at which the gas in the GDT will ionize between the electrodes, and conduct electricity.
