Abstract: A high-pressure discharge lamp may include a ceramic discharge vessel and a longitudinal axis, with electrodes respectively being led out from the discharge vessel by means of a feed-through via capillaries, wherein a tubular cermet part, which consists of individual layers of different composition layered axially in succession, is fitted on the capillary, each layer containing Mo and Al2O3, the proportion of Mo in the first layer facing toward the capillary being from 3 to 15 vol. % and in the last layer being from 85 to 97 vol. %, and a molybdenum cover cap, the cover cap being welded to the feed-through and the cover cap being connected to the cermet part by means of solder containing metal, and the connection between the capillary and the cermet part being established by means of high-melting glass solder or sinter-active Al2O3 powder.

Abstract: A halogen incandescent lamp may include a bulb, in which a light-emitting element and a fill with a halogen-containing additive is accommodated, the halogen containing F, wherein a fluorine-resistant layer which is passive at suitable temperatures is accommodated in the interior of the bulb and completely covers the inner wall.

Abstract: An arc tube of ceramic material has an aluminum nitride (AlN) end structure (36) wherein a feedthrough (30) is sealed by direct bonding. Said feedthrough is comprised of a refractory metal, W or Mo, that is aluminized on its outer surface. Preferably, the feedthrough is a Mo pipe that had been provided with a Mo3191Al layer (36) prior to direct bonding, the aluminized layer provides a bonding interface between the AlN ceramic and the refractory metal feedthrough.

Abstract: The invention relates to a metal halide lamp comprising a ceramic discharge vessel (10), characterized in that an MoV leadthrough is connected to a PCA element (Al2O3) by means of a specific adhesive layer containing Al and Mo.

Abstract: A radiation detector is disclosed for X- or gamma rays. In at least one embodiment, the radiation detector includes an array of scintillation detectors and a reflector layer separating these from one another. The reflector layer includes a binder matrix and particles of a light-reflecting material embedded therein, the surfaces of the particles being coated at least partially with a dispersant.

Abstract: A scintillator layer is disclosed for a spatially resolving X-ray detector. Apertures provided in a plate and in the form of a grid, are filled with a filling compound formed from a polymer and a phosphor powder.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a ceramic discharge vessel for a lamp application is described. The method uses a low viscosity suspension of ceramic powder in a liquid resin. The discharge vessel is formed layer by layer using a stereolithography system. Preferably, the layers are formed by locally exposing the ceramic-resin mixture to a UV light source that solidifies and cures the resin only in the areas which correspond to the particular cross-sectional profile of the discharge vessel for a respective layer.
