Abstract
A coaxial flashlamp for pulsed operation at high repetition rates having an annular, light emitting discharge path between fluid cooled coaxially disposed, inner and outer optically transparent tubes. Electrodes are provided at opposite ends of the discharge paths and a gas such as Xenon is provided between the electrodes. The gas is discharged by confinement between the two tubes, forced to assume a dispersed shape which permits more efficient cooling at the discharge borders by fluid coolant inside the inner tube and around the outer tube.
