What is the use of Krypton?

Krypton is used commercially as a filling gas for energy-saving fluorescent lights. It is also used in some flash lamps used for high-speed photography. Unlike the lighter gases in its group, it is reactive enough to form some chemical compounds. For example, krypton will react with fluorine to form krypton fluoride. read more

Krypton is used in the production and usage of the krypton fluoride laser, which is being used in research for nuclear fusion. It is also suitable for use in high powered laser shows. It is mixed with argon to fill fluorescent lamps. read more

Krypton, like the other noble gases, is used in lighting and photography. Krypton light has many spectral lines, and krypton plasma is useful in bright, high-powered gas lasers (krypton ion and excimer lasers), each of which resonates and amplifies a single spectral line. read more
