摘要： A method and device for arc straightening in an HID lamp, the method comprising the steps of: determining and selecting a frequency signal or a frequency sweep signal that produces arc straightening for an HID lamp; and exciting an arc straightening acoustic mode in conjunction with a carrier frequency signal. In a preferred embodiment, the exciting step comprises amplitude modulating the carrier frequency signal with either the frequency signal or the frequency sweep signal which corresponds to the power frequencies for arc straightening. In a further embodiment, the exciting step comprises summing the carrier frequency signal with a second frequency signal or second frequency sweep signal to obtain a difference power frequency or power frequencies which excite an arc straightening acoustic mode.

摘要： Power source systems implementing methods for reducing vertical segregation (color mixing) in a long and thin high intensity discharge lamp are disclosed. Each system provides a current frequency signal to the lamp that excites an azimuthal acoustic and longitudinal acoustic combination mode of the lamp whereby color mixing within the lamp can be achieved. Each system further adjusts the current frequency signal as needed to stabilize color mixing within the lamp.

摘要： A method and ballast for driving a high intensity discharge (HID) lamp include generating a very high frequency driving signal for the HID lamp, generating a low frequency modulating signal, amplitude modulating the driving signal with the modulating signal at a predetermined low initial modulation level, measuring a lamp voltage across the HID lamp, determining a standard deviation of the lamp voltage, comparing the standard deviation with a predetermined minimum level, if the standard deviation is above the predetermined minimum level, incrementally increasing the modulation level and repeating the amplitude modulating step, the measuring step, the determining step and the comparing step, and if the standard deviation is below the predetermined minimum level, maintaining the amplitude modulation at the determined level.

摘要： An apparatus and method for obtaining short-term color stability in an HID lamp, the apparatus comprising in a first embodiment a high intensity discharge lamp with a discharge vessel and electrodes; with a filling within the discharge vessel containing a metal halide dose of at least 20 mg/cc, where volume is defined as the volume of the main cylindrical section of the discharge vessel. In a preferred embodiment, the filling within the discharge vessel contains Hg of at least 20 mg/cc, where volume is defined as the volume of the main cylindrical section of the discharge vessel. In a yet further aspect, the resulting color temperature is stabilized independent of the shape and frequency of the current and voltage waveforms that drive the HID lamp.
