A reflector for use in an ultraviolet or other type of lamp system (10) having a plasma bulb (20). The reflector (42,62) includes one or more longitudinally extending reflector panels (46,66) having a characteristic shape that advantageously reflects ultraviolet radiation emanating from the bulb (20) to provide a uniform irradiance over a relatively large surface area of a substrate. A substantial portion of each reflector panel (46,66) has a characteristic shape described by the equation (x/a)<(2+n)> + (y/b)<(2+m)> = 1, where a and b are constants and n and m are exponents that range between 0 and 2. <IMAGE> |
