Airfield lighting is complex in its requirements for |
|
lights of various intensities and colors. Some |
|
applications such as taxiway lights, information signs, |
|
and combat situations may be served by lights of |
|
relatively low intensity. They should meet criteria such |
|
as energy efficiency, little or no dependence upon |
|
batteries or generators, low maintenance, and rapid |
|
deployment. Lights powered with krypton-85 provide some |
|
of these advantages. This report summarizes an effort to |
|
develop krypton-85 powered airfield lighting. Light is |
|
produced when beta rays from krypton-85 excite a |
|
phosphor. Phosphors selected produced blue, red, and |
|
yellow-green light. Field testing of the lights was |
|
sufficiently encouraging to continue development in a |
|
follow-on effort. (Author) |
