    摘要: A plasma lamp is described with resonant frequency tuning capability and associated methods for tuning. One tuning method allows plasma lamp manufacturer to set the frequency of lamps to several discrete predetermined values. For example, most lamps that are near the center of a frequency distribution can be tuned to a nominal value such as 918.7 MHz. Other frequencies can also be tuned to increase manufacturing yield and improve lamp performance.

    摘要: A plasma lamp for an electrodeless plasma lamp having a shaped dielectric waveguide body. The shaped body may have a relatively thin region containing a bulb, and a second region thicker than the first region. Microwave probes may be positioned in the second region to provide power to the waveguide body. The body may be shaped to intensify the electric field in the first region adjacent to the bulb to allow operation at a lower frequency than a solid cylindrical or rectangular waveguide body having the same volume and dielectric constant.

    摘要: A plasma lamp for an electrodeless plasma lamp having a waveguide body with an effective dielectric constant of at least 2. A drive probe is coupled to the waveguide body to provide the primary power for ignition and steady state operation of the lamp. A phase shifter is used to adjust the phase of the power provided to the drive probe between ignition and steady state operation. The phase shifter may also be used to adjust brightness during steady state operation.
