1. A power supply system for a deuterium arc lamp comprising, in combination:

  • a variable output switching voltage converter for generating a pulsed output voltage when energized from an external voltage source;

    a voltage multiplier storage circuit driven from said output voltage for supplying starting voltage to the arc in said deuterium lamp;

    a rectifier storage circuit driven from said output voltage for supplying running anode arc current to said lamp;

    current sensor means coacting with said voltage converter for continuous feedback control of said output voltage in response to anode current level of said deuterium arc lamp; and

    switching means for applying cathode heater current to said arc lamp coincidentally with the energization of said voltage converter from said external voltage source.
