Abstract: A plasma electrodeless lamp comprises a substantially hollow metallic body, closely receiving two coupling elements, the first coupling element connected to the output of an RF amplifier, and the second coupling element connected to the input of an RF amplifier. The first coupling element is conductively connected (grounded) to metallic lamp body at its top surface, while the second coupling element is not. The lamp further comprises a vertical metallic post, the post being grounded to the metallic lamp body at the post's bottom surface. The lamp further comprises a dielectric sleeve which closely receives the metallic post, and which is in turn closely supported by the lamp body or alternatively or in combination a tuning stub. The lamp further comprises a bulb that is closely received by the metallic post, and that encloses a gas-fill which forms a radiant plasma when excited.

Abstract: Described is a plasma electrode-less lamp. The device comprises an electromagnetic resonator and an electromagnetic radiation source conductively connected with the electromagnetic resonator. The device further comprises a pair of field probes, the field probes conductively connected with the electromagnetic resonator. A gas-fill vessel is formed from a closed, transparent body, forming a cavity. The gas-fill vessel is not contiguous with (detached from) the electromagnetic resonator and is capacitively coupled with the field probes. The gas-fill vessel further contains a gas within the cavity, whereby the gas is induced to emit light when electromagnetic radiation from the electromagnetic radiation source resonates inside the electromagnetic resonator, the electromagnetic resonator capacitively coupling the electromagnetic radiation to the gas, which becomes a plasma and emits light.

Abstract: A Double Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (DHBT) is disclosed employing a collector of InP, an emitter of InP or other material such as InAlAs, and a base of either a selected InxGa1−xAsySb1−y compound, which preferably is lattice-matched to InP or may be somewhat compressively strained thereto, or of a superlattice which mimics the selected InGaAsSb compound. When an emitter having a conduction band non-aligned with that of the base is used, such as InAlAs, the base-emitter junction is preferably graded using either continuous or stepped changes in bulk material, or using a chirped superlattice. Doping of the junction may include one or more delta doping layer to improve the shift of conduction band discontinuities provided by a grading layer, or to permit a wider depletion region.

Abstract: A highly uniform, planar and high speed JHEMT-HBT MMIC is fabricated using a single growth process. A multi-layer structure including a composite emitter-channel layer, a base-gate layer and a collector layer is grown on a substrate. The composite emitter-channel layer includes a sub-emitter/channel layer that reduces the access resistance to the HBT's emitter and the JHEMT's channel, thereby improving the HBT's high frequency performance and increasing the JHEMT's current gain. The multi-layer structure is then patterned and metallized to form an HBT collector contact, planar HBT base and JHEMT gate contacts, and planar HBT emitter and JHEMT source and drain contacts.

Abstract: An RF electrodeless plasma lamp with improved efficiency in higher lumens per watt includes a waveguide body, in which an RF signal drives the entire structure at the resonant frequency of the structure. The resonant frequency of the structure is lowered by increasing the overall capacitance of the waveguide body by adding at least two layers of dielectric material between the input feed and the bulb of the lamp. The layered structure can include an air cavity disposed between a dielectric layer and the input feed. In lowering the resonant frequency of the lamp, the device is capable of using RF amplifiers that have higher efficiency, and thus has a higher lumens per watt ratio.

Abstract: A plasma lamp apparatus that includes an improved bulb support assembly to increase the lumens per watt output of the apparatus. The bulb support assembly includes a support structure that forms a cavity for receiving the bulb. The bulb is supported within the cavity though a protrusion that extends out from the support structure in a curved manner. By created a curved protrusion, the electric field within the resonating structure of the lamp apparatus is lowered. Lowering the electric field leads to lower resonating frequencies of the resonating structure. In lowering the resonating frequency, the resonating structure is driven to resonate at lower power levels, thereby increasing the lumens per watt output of the lamp apparatus.
