About this book

Light and Light Sources gives an introduction to the working principles of high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps and points out challenges and problems associated with the development and operation of HID lamps. The state-of-the-art in electrode and plasma diagnostics as well as numerical methods used for the understanding of HID lamps are described. This volume addresses students as well as scientists and researchers at universities and in industry.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"Light and Light Sources is concerned with high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. … the book will be a necessary part of the library of students as well as scientists and researchers at universities and in industry, but most importantly it provides a well-written and useful introduction to the subject and thus will be the first book for the newcomer to the subject. … Mathematical equations are nicely presented. A most welcome feature is a bibliography of 175 items presented at the end of the book." (Current Engineering Practice, 2007)
