Abstract: An electrodeless plasma lamp and method of generating light are described. The lamp may comprise a lamp body, a source of radio frequency (RF) power and a bulb. The lamp body may comprise a solid dielectric material and at least one conductive element within the solid dielectric material. The source of RF power is configured to provide RF power and an RF feed configured to radiate the RF power from the RF source into the lamp body. One or more tuning mechanisms allow tuning of the lamp body to a given resonant frequency. The bulb is positioned proximate the lamp body and contains a fill that forms a plasma when the RF power is coupled to the fill from the lamp body. The at least one conductive element is configured to concentrate an electric field proximate the bulb.

Abstract: An electrodeless plasma lamp having a lamp body and a power source configured to provide radio-frequency (RF) power via a feed to the lamp body is provided. The lamp includes a first conductive element and a second conductive element. The first conductive element has a first side with a first protrusion. The second conductive element has a second side with a second protrusion. The first side and second side face each other and spaced apart by a first distance and configured to couple the RF power via an electric field to a fill to form at least one plasma arc. The first protrusion and the second protrusion extend towards each other and are spaced apart by a second distance that is less than the first distance. The first and second protrusions may provide localized enhancement of the electric field at the first side and the second side.
