Xenon also serves important roles in advanced illumination and display technologies:
-
Plasma displays – Inert xenon plasma generates ultraviolet photons that excite colored phosphors.
-
Headlamps/Flash tubes – Electrical discharge through xenon gas emits short, intensive light bursts.
-
Excimer lasers – Excited xenon-halogen gas mixtures emit UV laser pulses.
-
Strobe lights – Xenon discharge tubes produce regular flashes for imaging and inspection.
-
Fluorescent bulbs – Trace xenon gas improves efficiency and light quality in fluorescent lighting.
-
Bug zappers – Xenon lamps generate UV light that attracts insects towards the electrocution grid.
Xenon enables bright, efficient lighting across the spectrum from UV to infrared based on its unique atomic properties.
