Abstract
An optical waveguide system has a discharge lamp with a reflector and an asymmetrical burner. The reflector has a reflecting surface and a hollow reflector neck. The asymmetrical burner is partly arranged in the hollow reflector neck, without making contact with it. The shape and the size of the inner contour of the reflecting surface of the reflector corresponds substantially to the contour of the asymmetrical burner, and the asymmetrical burner is centrally located in the reflector.
