Abstract
A short arc lamp in which welding of a cathode to a conductive support component yields an advantageous connection of the cathode to the conductive support component in which the thermal influences are reduced, and in which the cathode tip does not move. The short arc lamp has a body within which a concave discharge space is formed, an anode and a cathode are located in the concave discharge space, a conductive support component for supporting the cathode is connected to a feeding ring which is located in the vicinity of an open end of the reflection surface, a first metal component which is formed on one end of the body, and a second metal component which is formed on the other end of the body. In a preferred embodiment, only a single conductive support component is welded to the cathode.
