    摘要: In one example embodiment, a drive probe is coupled to the lamp body to provide the primary power for ignition and steady state operation of the lamp. Feedback may be used to adjust frequency in response to changing conditions of the lamp during startup. A phase shifter may be used to adjust the phase of the power between ignition and steady state operation. A sensor may detect a lamp operating condition that automatically triggers a shift in phase after the fill in the bulb is vaporized. In another example embodiment, a method for sequentially optimizing the drive power and phase shift applied to the lamp is disclosed that may reliably regulate the lamp current consumption to desired startup and operational levels despite variations in lamp environmental conditions.

    摘要: An electrodeless plasma lamp and method of forming a seal on an electrodeless bulb for use in the plasma lamp are described. The method may include providing a section of tube, cutting the tube to length, and sealing a first point on one end of the tube in a rounded fashion to form a first end of the electrodeless bulb. The cross-sectional diameter of an opposite end of the tube is reduced to form a tail on the electrodeless bulb. The tail is open to an interior portion of the bulb where the interior portion forms a cavity. One or more fill gases are injected into the cavity of the bulb. A first portion along the tail of the bulb is sealed thereby forming a truncated tail. A second point on the tail, intermediate between a terminal portion of the tail and a portion of the bulb containing the cavity, is sealed. The second point is sealed with a plasma torch by using an inert-gas element with a minimum of hydrogen gas.

    摘要: Electrodeless plasma lamp and fill is described. Power may be over coupled to the lamp during startup and a significant percentage of the power is reflected. In some examples, 40-80% of the power may be initially reflected and less than 100 watts of forward power may be provided to the lamp. A high pressure fill is used to increase resistance and coupling of power during startup. In one example, a fill of noble gas, Mercury and metal halide is used and the high pressure decreases the warm up time required to vaporize the Mercury and metal halide. In some embodiments, the pressure may be between 200 Torr to 3000 Torr. A combination of metal halides may be used to provide desired characteristics. For example, Aluminum Halide, Indium Halide and/or Thallium Halide may be combined with one or more metal halides having a metal from the Lanthanide series.
