Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2437755A] The present invention relates to a control system (100) for controlling a gas discharge system (10), the lamp control system (100) comprising a detection means (102) for detecting a physical parameter such as e.g. an optical parameter from said gas discharge lamp (10), an evaluation means (104) for spectrally evaluating variations in said optical parameter. The control system may also comprise a controlling means (106) for controlling an operating frequency of said gas discharge system (10) based on said evaluated physical parameter. The system typically is adapted for reducing arc instabilities in a gas discharge lamp, although other gas discharge systems may be adapted as well. The invention also relates to a corresponding optical system, and to a method for controlling a gas discharge system, such as e.g. a gas discharge lamp.
