Krypton& acute;s multiple emission lines make ionized krypton gas discharges appear whitish, which in turn makes krypton-based bulbs useful in photography as a brilliant white light source.Krypton mixes with argon as the fill gas of energy saving fluorescent lamps. Krypton& acute;s white discharge is often used to good effect in colored gas discharge tubes, which are then simply painted or stained in other ways to allow the desired color (for example, & quot;neon& quot; type advertising signs where the letters appear in differing colors are often entirely krypton-based).Krypton has an important role in production and usage of the krypton fluoride laser.In experimental particle physics, liquid krypton is used to construct quasi-homogeneous electromagnetic calorimeters.The sealed spark gap assemblies contained in ignition exciters used in some older jet engines contain a very small amount of Krypton-85 to obtain consistent ionization levels and uniform operation.
