Zusammenfassung:An improved radiation-emitting device of the type for containing gas and an electron flow therein between electrodes. First and second separate elongated principal members form an elongated envelope volume having constant cross-sections along its length. The first principal member is outwardly convex and radiation-transmissive and the second is inwardly concave and radiation-reflective, preferably having a metallic inner coating. The members are arranged and configured so that the envelope volume is less than that of a cylinder of similar cross-dimension. Pural electrodes are preferably used.
