    Spectra of alkali metal vapor and noble gas flashlamps

    W. F. Hug, C. M. Hains, C. J. Marlett

    Every spectrum traced from the full-resolution scan and integrated: pulsed sodium puts 94% of its electrical input into 0.4–1.3 µm light, pulsed cesium 60%, dc potassium 62%, dc xenon 17%. With a WebAssembly cell bench for testing PV band gaps against each lamp.
