Abstract

In this chapter, the physical principles of light emission are briefly discussed. Incandescent lamps, just as all temperature radiators, emit light as if it were a collection of light rays, whereas gas discharge lamps and semiconductor lamps emit light as if it were a stream of particles — of photons. The colour of the light can be influenced by fluorescence. All equipment that is discussed in the different chapters of this book, can be treated and designed by means of the laws of geometric optics.
