Abstract
An apparatus including a flashlamp; a lens member connected to the flashlamp; and a reflector connected to the lens member. The lens member is located between the flashlamp and the reflector. A method includes connecting the lens member to the flashlamp, where the lens member substantially surrounds the flashlamp, and connecting the reflector around an exterior side of the lens member, where an exit side of the lens member is not covered by the reflector.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a flashlamp;
- a lens member connected to the flashlamp;
- and
- a reflector connected to the lens member,
- where the lens member is located between the flashlamp and the reflector, where the flashlamp comprises a tube, a gas in the tube, electrodes extending out of the tube, and a trigger electrode at an exterior side of the tube, and where the trigger electrode is located between the tube and the lens member.
