    摘要: A plasma lamp system is described with the capability to tune the resonant frequency of the resonator of the plasma lamp system after the manufacturing process has been completed. The tuning method developed allows a simple low-cost approach to continuously tune the resonant frequency and set the desired frequency to an ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) band or set the resonant frequency to optimize the performance of the system. The tuning ability of the resonator relaxes the tolerance required for the dimensions of the resonator reducing the manufacturing cost and improving the manufacturing yield of the plasma lamp.

    摘要: An electrodeless plasma lamp array structure uses multiple plasma lamps to produce large amounts of electromagnetic radiation (visible, IR, UV, or a combination of visible, IR, and UV). An M by N array configuration is powered by either a single RF power source or multiple RF power sources. The array incorporates controllers to adjust the power delivered from the RF power source to each lamp within the array. By adjusting the delivered RF power, the intensity of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted from each lamp is controlled independently allowing for the creation of an array of lamps that emit electromagnetic radiation of varying intensity levels at different places within the array. Using lamps with different color temperatures as part of the array allows the color temperature and the color rendering index of the illumination to achieve different lighting conditions.

    摘要: An electrodeless plasma lamp includes a bulb containing a gas-fill and light emitter(s) excited to produce light using radio-frequency (RF) energy. Input and output coupling elements separated from each other by a gap couple RF energy from an RF source to the bulb. One end of the input coupling element is electrically connected to an RF source while the other end is connected to ground. One end of the output coupling element is connected to ground while the other end is connected to the bulb.
