description

Our work is connected with the preparation of different type of electrodeless discharge lamps. In this work we investigate the influence of the SiO2 glass wall treatment procedures on the inner surface of the electrodeless lamps. Three different treatment procedures were applied: vacuum cleaning, vacuum-thermal cleaning and training in the high frequency discharge. The surface modification has been investigated by means of atomic force microscopy. Substantial changes of the SiO2 glass surface have been observed. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
