摘要： A lucent crucible of a Lucent Waveguide Microwave Plasma Light Source (LWMPLS) comprising a Light Emitting Resonator (LER) in form of a crucible (1) of fused quartz which has a central void (2) having microwave excitable material (3) within it. In one example, the void is 4 mm in diameter and has a length (L) of 21 mm. The LWMPLS is operated at a power (P) of 280 W and thus with a plasma loading P/L of 133 w/cm and a wall loading of 106 w/cm2. The lamp is thus operated with a high efficiency—in terms of lumens per watt—while having a reasonable lifetime.

摘要： A lamp comprises a light source in the form of a light emitting resonator 1, a magnetron 2 and a stub tuner 3. A reflector 4 is fitted at the junction of the light source and the stub tuner, for directing the light in a generally collimated beam 5. The light emitting resonator comprises an enclosure 11 formed of inner and outer envelopes 12,13 of quartz. These are circular cylindrical tubes 14,15, with respective end plates 16,17. A tungsten wire mesh 18, of a mesh size to exhibit a ground plane to microwaves within the resonator, is sandwiched between the tubes and the end plates respectively. Each envelope, comprised of its tube and end plates is hermetic. An earth connection 18′ extends from the mesh to the outside of the envelope. The length axially of the enclosure between the wire mesh sandwiched between the end plates is λ/2 for the operating microwave frequency. At one end of the enclosure, a molybdenum drive connection 19 extends to a tungsten disc 20. This is arranged transverse the axis A of the enclosure at 1/16λ from the mesh at its end of the enclosure. The enclosure is filled with excitable plasma material, such as a dose of metal halide in a rare earth gas. The disc acts as antenna and is driven by the magnetron 2, via the matching circuit 3.

摘要： To the common point (C) of two transistors of a magnetron, switched converter power circuit is connected a coupling capacitor which provides input to a starter circuit. A transistor switch id in series with a capacitor and a diode. When the switch is off no current flows in (D11). When the switch is made, (D11) conducts during alternate halves of cycles present a (C). A second diode also conducts and allows current to pass through discharge capacitor. This progressively charges until the voltage across it reaches the breakdown voltage of a gas discharge tube (GTD). Whereupon the capacitor discharges through the primary winding of transformer (TR2). The second winding has many more turns and a started voltage is induced in the starter electrode. This is isolated from the Faraday cage and terminates adjacent to the crucible, close to the void.

摘要： A Lucent Waveguide Electromagnetic wave Plasma Light Source has a fabrication of fused quartz sheet and drawn tube. An inner closed void enclosure is formed of 8 mm outside diameter, 4 mm inside diameter drawn tube. Electromagnetic wave excitable plasma material is sealed inside the enclosure. The end plate is circular and has the enclosure sealed in a central bore in it, the bore not being numbered as such. A similar plate is positioned to leave a small gap between the inner end of the enclosure and itself. The two tubes are concentric with the two plates extending at right angles to their central axis. The outer tube extends back from the back surface of the inner plate as a skirt.

摘要： A lamp has microwave resonant body (11) of transparent quartz. The body has a central bore (16), having a sealed plasma enclosing bulb (17) inserted in it. The bulb is of quartz also and has an external diameter which is a close fit in the bore. The bulb itself is of drawn quartz tube (18) and as such has a smooth internal bore (19). End caps (20) are fused to the tube and encapsulate a charge of a material excitable to form a light emitting plasma in the bulb when microwaves are fed into the body via an antenna (7) in a bore (21) in the body. The body is sized to establish resonance within the Faraday cage in the body (11), bulb (17) and fill containing void (22) within the bulb. There is negligible gap between the bulb and body, whereby they can be regarded as one for resonance purposes. The bulb is fixed in the body by welds (23).

摘要： A lamp 1 comprises an oscillator and amplifier source 2 of microwave energy, typically operating at 2.45 or 5.8 GHz or other frequencies within an ISM band. The source passes the microwaves via a matching circuit 3 to an antenna 4 extending into a re-entrant 5 in a lucent waveguide 6. This is of quartz and has a central cavity 7 accommodating a bulb 8. The bulb is a sealed tube 9 of quartz and contains a fill of noble gas and a microwave excitable material, which radiates visible light when excited by microwaves. The bulb has a stem 10 received in a stem bore 11 extending from the central cavity. The waveguide is transparent and light from the bulb can leave it in any direction, subject to any reflective surfaces. Microwaves cannot leave the waveguide, which is limited at its surfaces by a Faraday cage. Typically this comprises an ITO coating 12 on a front face of the waveguide, a light reflective coating 10, typically of silver with silicon monoxide coating 13 on a rear face and a wire mesh 14, which contacts both the ITO and light reflective coatings and is grounded, the wire mesh extending around sides of the waveguide between the front and back surfaces. Light can pass through the wire mesh for collection and use.
