    Abstract: A lightwave oven cooking method and apparatus uses pulsed power applied to a plurality of high-power lamps which provides radiant energy in the electromagnetic spectrum and having wavelengths including the visible and near-visible ranges. Irradiation is applied to the food by applying power to the lamps for a specified period of time without vaporizing all of the surface water on the food, and then applying reduced irradiation to the food to complete the cooking cycle without producing an overly browned surface which inhibits deep penetration of radiation in the near-visible and visible ranges. The reduced power can be at a reduced duty cycle which can be done in a sequence of one or more reducing steps in the duty cycle or a continuous reduction of the duty cycle of the power applied to the lamps. A change in color, in water vapor concentration emitted from the surface, in the food temperatures and/or in the generation of steam to a predetermined degree can be sensed to reduce power.

    Abstract: Dual pyrometric detectors and method measure the temperature of a remote heated object in the presence of ambient radiation. One detector measures emitted radiation from both the remote object and from the environment, and the other detector measures radiation predominantly from the environment alone. The output signals from the two detectors are processed electronically to yield the detected radiation from the remote object alone. The result can then be electronically processed to display the pyrometrically-measured temperature of the remote object.

    Abstract: Radiation heating of a semiconductor wafer employs first and second pluralities of spaced and skewed lamps. Lamps in each plurality are grouped beginning with the innermost lamps and extending to the outermost lamps. Each group of lamps in one plurality of lamps are interconnected with a group of lamps in the other plurality of lamps whereby the interconnected groups of lamps are simultaneously and equally energized. Lamp voltage is modulated in accordance with a preestablished table for each size of wafer and temperature cycle. Alternatively, temperature sensors can be employed to provide feedback to a computer controlled modulator. The lamps in the different groups can be selected to have different steady state power intensities for a given voltage to thereby establish a desired temperature gradient.

The lightwave oven includes an oven cavity housing that encloses a cooking region therein. A first plurality and a second plurality of high power lamps provide radiant energy in the visible, near-visible and infrared ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. The first plurality of lamps is positioned above the cooking region and the second plurality of lamps is positioned below the cooking region. An optical sensor measures an amount of the radiant energy produced by at least one of the second plurality of lamps that is reflected by the cookware in the cooking region. A controller changes an average power level of the second plurality of lamps based upon the amount of radiant energy measured by the optical sensor.

    Abstract: An oven using one or more quartz halogen tungsten lamps or quartz arc bulbs capable of producing radiant energy of which a significant portion is in the visible light range of the electromagnetic spectrum to pop popcorn whereby visible and near visible radiation directly impinges onto corn kernels. Radiation sources can be positioned around the corn kernels and the inner walls of the oven are preferably highly reflective to reflect light energy onto the kernels. The kernels travel down a tube shaped cooking chamber by a forced air stream. When the corn pops, the highly reflective and very light popped corn is removed via the air stream which stops the cooking process.

    Abstract: An lightwave oven and method of cooking therewith for cooking food with radiant energy in the visible, near-visible and infrared ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum from a first plurality of high power lamps positioned above the food and a second plurality of high power lamps positioned below the food. The first plurality of lamps are sequentially operated at a first average power level by applying power thereto in a staggered manner so that not all of the first plurality of lamps are on at the same time, and the second plurality of lamps are sequentially operated at a second average power level by applying power thereto in a staggered manner so that not all of the second plurality of lamps are on at the same time. The stagger can be varied to change the time average power level of the first and/or second pluralities of lamps without adversely affecting the spectral outputs thereof. The first and second pluralities of lamps can be operated in one of several different modes. In one mode, the first and second pluralities of lamps are sequentially operated simultaneously. In another mode, the first plurality of lamps is sequentially operated while the second plurality of lamps are turned off. In yet another mode, the second plurality of lamps is sequentially operated while the first plurality of lamps are turned off.
