Described herein is a device and a method for generating radiation, in particular pulsed radiation, specifically within the infrared spectral range. Also described herein is a computer program product which includes executable instructions for performing the method. The device for generating radiation includes at least one radiation emitting element, where the radiation emitting element is designated for generating radiation upon being heated by an electrical current; a mount, where the mount carries the at least one radiation emitting element, and where the mount or a portion thereof is movable; and a heat sink, where the heat sink is designated for cooling the mount and the at least one radiation emitting element being carried by the mount upon being touched by the mount. The device, the method, and the computer program product can be used in a spectroscopic application.

An incandescent lamp is provided which prevents disconnection of a coupling part between a filament and a lead wire and also which improves impact resistance. A lead wire 4 has, in a standing portion 11 inside of a bulb 2, a first zone 19a to a third zone 19c in order from a top. The third zone 19c further penetrates through a pinch seal part 3 while firmly fixed thereto. The first zone 19a and the second zone 19b are formed of materials consisting primarily of molybdenum and nickel, respectively. The third zone 19c is formed of a Dumet wire 29.

An airport runway light for use as a runway approach light for a runway lighting system, the runway light having a light body with a base configured to support the runway light in a light socket of a runway lighting system, the base having an electrical connection to electrically connect the runway light to the runway lighting system, the light further including one or more output windows wherein the runway light has a high-efficiency infrared source and one or more infrared reflectors to direct the infrared source outwardly through the one or more output windows, the infrared source including a silicon nitride element wherein the infrared source produces virtually no detectable visible light and with much less power consumption.

A lamp and epitaxial processing apparatus are described herein. In one example, the lamp includes a bulb, a filament, and a plurality of filament supports disposed in spaced-apart relation to the filament, each of the filament supports having a hook support and a hook. The hook includes a connector configured to fasten the hook to the hook support, a first vertical portion extending from the connector toward the filament, and a rounded portion extending from an end of the first vertical portion distal from the connector and configured to wrap around the filament. A second vertical portion extends from an end of the rounded portion distal from the first vertical portion and the second vertical portion has a length between 60% and 100% of the length of the first vertical portion.
