Light Source Developed by General Electric Uses Synthetic Lucalox Ceramic

GE's Lucalox ceramic attains high degree of clarity by elimination of all microscopic pores that make conventional ceramics appear opaque. Although clear when placed against printed matter, the material resembles frosted glass at greater distances.

TV;YELOPMENT of a new light source that combines high light output with extremely favorable color quality has been announced by General Electric Co.'s Large Lamp Department. The lamps, still in the development stage, are metallic vapor types, falling into the family of electric discharge lamps which includes fluorescent and mercury lamps'. The new lamps make use of thin tubular envelopes made of GE's polycrystalline alumina ceramic, Lucalox, which permits the use of alkali metal vapors at higher pressures and temperatures than previously. Lucalox, according to a company spokesman, is the first highly refractory synthetic ceramic ever to combine translucence with extremely high strength characteristics. It can withstand higher temperatures than most other ceramics in use and can be pressed into any shape. The new type lamps made from Lucalox require no external envelope, enabling operation of the lamps in air.

They show good energy distribution throughout the light spectrum, making excellent color quality possible without the need for phosphor or other coatings. The company points out that their small size—about that of a kingsize cigarette—conforms to the longterm trend toward greater output from smaller sources. Lucalox makes feasible the study of light and color from metallic vapors not usable in previously available materials. One lamp type being studied at GE uses cesium vapor, which cannot be used efficiently in conventional glass or quartz envelopes. Cesium attacks these materials severely and will blacken quartz in a few seconds at 500° C The cesium lamp being studied is said to provide excellent color quality at an efficiency of about 35 lumens per watt. The alkali metallic vapor lamps now under development operate at temperatures where quartz would melt. General Electric stresses that the new lamps are still under development, and that it is too early to state positively that they will become mass production items. P-l

Low-Cost Photometer Model M Photrometer is said by the company to be simple and classic in design, thus minimizing the possibility of breakdown and the need for servicing. Yet it is also said to provide the precision usually needed and to be capable of testing a volume of less than i y 2 ml. of colored solution. In operation, a specimen is placed in the light path, where water absorbs comparatively little light while colored matter absorbs more. The light is then transmitted to a photocell where it generates a current which is smaller for colored matter, thus providing a measure of the concentra-
