Features: This book, as a textbook for undergraduate students of the Light Source and Lighting Engineering Department of Fudan University and a reference for engineering technicians in the industry, has been well-received by students and scientists, and highly praised by domestic and international experts. It has won the First Prize of China Light Industry Science and Technology Progress Award. The second edition, while maintaining and enhancing the features of the first edition, has added considerable new content, such as T5 fine-tubed fluorescent lamps, CCFLs, flat fluorescent lamps, mercury-free metal halide lamps for automotive use, ceramic metal halide lamps, UHP sources, etc. Particularly noteworthy is the newly added chapter on "Electroluminescent Light Sources," which focuses on LEDs and reflects the new achievements in the development of electric light source technology over the past decade. The book consists of 12 chapters, discussing the principles, characteristics, and design methods of various thermal radiation light sources and gas discharge light sources. To facilitate readers in mastering the above content, brief introductions to optical radiation, gas discharge, and photometric and colorimetric measurements are also provided. The book emphasizes systematic theoretical analysis while also paying close attention to the integration of theory and practice. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in relevant fields of higher education, as well as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in the production, development, and research of lamps and lighting appliances, as well as for faculty and scientific researchers in universities and research institutions.
