Abstract

Providing a super-high pressure lamp having increased pressure resistance. The super-high pressure lamp includes: an arc tube; and a sealing portion in which a front end of an exhaust pipe capable of exhausting gas in the arc tube or supplying gas into the arc tube is sealed, wherein, in the sealing portion, a height of a first sealed space, which has a tapered shape that becomes narrower toward a front end of the sealing portion, is larger than twice an inner diameter of the first sealed space.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A super-high pressure lamp comprising:
an arc tube; and
a sealing portion in which a front end of an exhaust pipe capable of exhausting gas in the arc tube or supplying gas into the arc tube is sealed,
wherein, in the sealing portion, a height of a first sealed space, which has a tapered shape that becomes narrower toward a front end of the sealing portion, is larger than twice an inner diameter of the first sealed space.

2. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 1 , wherein a front end of the first sealed space is not branched.

3. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 1 further comprising
a first branch and a second branch formed by branching a front end of the first sealed space,
wherein an interval between a front end of the first branch and a front end of the second branch is 1.5 mm or less.

4. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 3 , wherein the interval between the front end of the first branch and the front end of the second branch is shorter than an interval between a root of the first branch and a root of the second branch.

5. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 4 , wherein the first branch and the second branch are twisted in a pair.

6. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of the sealing portion is three times or more the inner diameter.

7. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 1 further comprising
two side tubes connected to the arc tube and disposed opposite to each other with the arc tube interposed between the two side tubes,
wherein the sealing portion is provided on a curved surface of any one of the two side tubes.

8. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 1 further comprising
two side tubes connected to the arc tube and disposed opposite to each other with the arc tube interposed between the two side tubes,
wherein the sealing portion is provided inside any one of the two side tubes.

9. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 1 further comprising
two side tubes connected to the arc tube and disposed opposite to each other with the arc tube interposed between the two side tubes,
wherein an electrode is disposed inside each of the two side tubes, and
the sealing portion is provided on the arc tube.

10. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 1 further comprising
two side tubes connected to the arc tube and disposed opposite to each other with the arc tube interposed between the two side tubes,
wherein an electrode is disposed inside each of the two side tubes, and
the sealing portion is provided on a curved surface of any one of the two side tubes.

11. The super-high pressure lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the super-high pressure lamp is a laser sustained plasma lamp.
