摘要： A glass rod extending through and sealed to the exhaust tube of an electrodeless SEF fluorescent discharge lamp has a metal support member at one end thereof for supporting an amalgam at or near the apex of the lamp envelope. The metal support member may comprise a spiral-shaped wire, a wire screen, or a wire basket. Preferably, the amalgam is maintained in contact with the apex of the lamp envelope. If desired, the metal support member may comprise a magnetic material to allow for magnetic transport of the amalgam assembly during lamp processing. The metal support member restricts spreading of the amalgam when in a liquid state; and the glass rod provides rigid support for the amalgam independent of lamp orientation.

摘要： A starting circuit for an electrodeless HID lamp provides a two-stage resonant starting signal to a gas probe starter of the type comprising a starting chamber which contains a relatively low-pressure gas and is attached to the outer wall of the arc tube. The starting circuit comprises a resonant LC circuit of variable impedance including the series combination of a variable inductance and the parasitic capacitance between the gas probe starter and the excitation coil. In operation, the resonant circuit is tuned to a predetermined value so that, upon application of an RF signal to the excitation coil, resonant operation of the starting circuit results in the application of a sufficiently high starting voltage to the starting chamber to ignite a low-current glow discharge therein. Once the glow discharge is ignited, the starting circuit is retuned to ensure that a sufficiently high starting voltage is capacitively coupled to the arc tube to ionize the arc tube fill and initiate an arc discharge therein.

摘要： An electrodeless SEF fluorescent discharge lamp of the type having an envelope with a re-entrant cavity formed therein for containing an excitation coil includes an amalgam positioned for maintaining an optimum mercury vapor pressure during lamp operation. An exhaust tube extending through the re-entrant cavity has an extension into the envelope toward the apex of the lamp envelope. The exhaust tube extension has a rim portion for holding an amalgam support in position within the lamp envelope. The amalgam support preferably comprises a wire wrapped about and held in place by the rim portion. At the other end of the wire, an amalgam is wetted to a wire screen or helical wire structure at a predetermined optimal location within the lamp envelope. Alternatively, two amalgams are supported by the amalgam support at predetermined optimal locations for starting and steady-state operation of the lamp, respectively.

摘要： The fill of a self-extinguishing gas probe starter for an electrodeless high intensity discharge lamp includes a starter fill component which has a relatively low vapor pressure and is substantially inert in the starter fill at ambient temperatures, but which component vaporizes and becomes electronegative as the temperature of the lamp increases, so that the starter fill component attaches electrons of the starting discharge in the gas probe starter and thereby extinguishes the starting discharge after initiation of the arc discharge in the arc tube. As a result, the flow of currents between the gas probe starter and the arc tube, which would otherwise have a detrimental effect on the arc tube wall, is avoided.

摘要： A starting circuit for an electrodeless HID lamp, comprising a series resonant LC circuit of variable impedance, provides a starting voltage to a fixed or movable starting probe substantially simultaneously with the application of power to the excitation coil from the main power source. In a preferred embodiment, the starting circuit provides a starting signal to a gas probe starter of the type including a fixed starting electrode coupled to a starting chamber which contains a relatively low-pressure gas and is attached to the outer wall of the arc tube. Resonant operation of the starting circuit results in the application of a sufficiently high voltage to ignite a glow discharge in the low-pressure starting chamber. In turn, the starting voltage is capacitively coupled to the arc tube, ionizing the fill and initiating an arc discharge therein. In an alternative embodiment, additional circuitry is provided for ensuring that the glow discharge in the low-pressure starting chamber is extinguished after initiation of the arc discharge.

摘要： A first portion of a spiral wire support for an amalgam is securely fitted into an exhaust tube formed in a re-entrant cavity of an electrodeless fluorescent lamp before attachment and sealing of the re-entrant cavity to the bulb of the lamp. A second portion of the spiral wire support extends into the bulb and holds an amalgam in thermal contact with the apex of the bulb. The second portion has a larger diameter than the first portion to ensure against movement of the spiral wire support into the exhaust tube. The end of the second portion of the spiral wire support is wetted with an alloy capable of forming an amalgam with mercury prior to insertion of the wire support into the exhaust tube. Mercury is added to the bulb after final evacuation of the bulb in preparation for dosing the lamp with its fill. As a result, an amalgam is formed and maintained in thermal contact with the apex of the bulb, regardless of lamp orientation.

摘要： An excitation coil for an electrodeless fluorescent lamp of the type having a core of insulating material, is made of a metal having a low thermal expansion coefficient which is plated with a high-conductivity metal. An insulating coating is applied over the metal plating. An exemplary coil includes a molybdenum wire, plated with silver, and finally coated with alumina. The result is a thermally stable excitation coil that maintains its shape, even at high operating temperatures, and hence maintains its impedance characteristic over the operating range of the lamp.

摘要： A series resonant starting circuit for providing a starting voltage to a starting probe for initiating an arc discharge in an electrodeless HID lamp includes an electrically variable inductance. The HID lamp is of a type having an excitation coil situated around an arc tube containing an ionizable fill in which the arc discharge is ignited. The electrically variable inductance includes a magnetic core having a main winding wound thereon that is coupled in series with a resonant capacitance. A bias winding is also wound on the magnetic core. Either the bias winding is coupled in series with a bias inductor, or, alternatively, the main and bias windings are configured on the magnetic core as a cross-field inductor. A bias circuit supply provides dc or relatively low-frequency ac current to the bias winding in order to vary the permeability of the magnetic core, and hence the inductance of the main winding, thereby tuning the starting circuit.

摘要： A passive starting circuit foran electrodeless HID lamp includes a series resonant LC circuit including an inductor of variable impedance coupled in series with the parasitic capacitance between a starting probe and the excitation coil of the lamp, and further including a coupling capacitance for directly coupling the starting circuit to the excitation coil. The coupling capacitance is connected between the high terminal of the excitation coil, or a point in the circuit at approximately the same potential thereof, and a conductive support for holding the lamp and starting probe in a lamp fixture. In this way, the starting voltage is maximized for more efficient and rapid starting. Preferably, the series resonant capacitance of the starting circuit is optimized so that the ballast requires little, if any, retuning after the lamp has started.
