In order to improve the energy balance of an HID lamp, the quartz burner, preferably the inside thereof, is coated with a UV reflecting layer system by alternatingly applying amorphous thin layers made at least of titanium oxide and silicon oxide having the respective general stoichiometry TiO<SUB>y </SUB>and SiO<SUB>x </SUB>by means of a plasma impulse chemical vapor deposition (PICVD) method at a high power density and increased substrate temperatures ranging from 100° to 400° C., using small growth rates ranging from 1 nm/sec to 100 nm/sec so as to form an interference layer system having a thickness of less than 1200 nm and a minimized UV-active defective spot rate ranging from 0.1 to 1 percent.
