摘要： A lamp for more uniformly irradiating surfaces of fibers (including ribbon-shaped fibers), such as optical fibers, and methods of using such lamp, are provided. The lamp has primary and secondary elliptical-shaped reflectors, forming an elliptical space therebetween with the fibers in the vicinity of one focal point of the elliptical space, on the major axis of the elliptical space. The lamp bulb is centered on this major axis of the elliptical space, in the vicinity of the other focal point to provide a dispersed ray pattern at the fiber for more uniformity over the surfaces of the fibers. Ends of the primary reflector can be provided with end reflectors which can have mounts for the lamp bulb. The lamp can be used to cure a light curable coating (e.g., ink, polymer) on the fiber.

摘要： The spectral energy characteristic of a discharge lamp is controlled by changing the density of the fill substance. The spectral characteristic can be shifted while substantially maintaining its shape by changing the density of the fill. A sulfur or selenium containing discharge lamp which is operated at a pressure of at least about 1 atmosphere contains a low ionization potential substance in the fill. Characteristics which are improved are one or more of spatial color uniformity, extinguishing characteristics, and bulb starting reliability. Particular substances which are added to the fill are alkalai metal containing substances, III B metal containing substances, and alkaline earth metal containing substances. When light is reflected back into the bulb, the light which is re-emitted is stronger in the higher wavelengths.

摘要： A microwave generated electrodeless lamp using a single magnetron, and an improved lamp envelope therefor. An elongated lamp envelope containing a plasma forming medium is disposed in a microwave chamber comprised of a reflector and mesh. The reflector includes a pair of coupling slots, each of which is disposed equidistant from the ends of the lamp envelope. A waveguide means is provided which has a wall which is comprised of a portion of the reflector which includes the slots, and has means for introducing microwave energy thereto at an area equidistant from the two slots so that the energy couples equally to the slots. When the frequency of the microwave energy and chamber dimensions are arranged so that a symmetrical standing wave exists in the chamber, a balanced system results wherein after a short start-up period, approximately equal light output is obtained from the respective ends of the lamp envelop. In order to prevent re-condensation of the envelope fill during operation at areas of low temperature, an improved envelope is provided in which such areas are severly tapered to cause hotter operation thereat.

摘要： A luminaire reflector comprises a first end reflector segment, a second end reflector segment, and a main reflector segment bonded together as a single-piece. The main reflector segment, the first end reflector segment, and the second end reflector segment form a microwave cavity that can accommodate a microwave-powered bulb. The luminaire reflector is configured to be mated to at least one waveguide of a luminaire assembly. The luminaire reflector comprises at least one RF coupling slot to transmit microwave energy from the waveguide side to the microwave cavity side of the reflector assembly.

摘要： An electrodeless discharge lamp has a thinner wall portion located proximate a position of high applied power. Since the heat capacity of the thinner wall portion is smaller then the remainder of the bulb wall, the thinner wall portion cools faster when the lamp power is turned off, and the condensable part of the fill tends to condense at this bulb wall portion. When the power is turned on again, since the thinner wall portion is located at a position of high power application, the fill is available in such region to be evaporated, thereby resulting in more rapid starting.

摘要翻译： 无电极放电灯具有靠近高施加电力位置的较薄的壁部分。 由于较薄的壁部分的热容量小于球形壁的其余部分，所以当灯泡电源关闭时，较薄的壁部分更快地冷却，并且填充物的可冷凝部分在该灯泡壁部分倾向于冷凝。 当再次接通电源时，由于较薄的壁部分位于高功率施加的位置，所以填充物可在这样的区域中被蒸发，从而导致更快的启动。

摘要： Apparatus for treating material with radiant energy, especially adapted for curing photocurable polymeric materials coated onto an optic fiber. The apparatus includes first and second reflectors which in combination form an elliptical reflector, a light source positioned at one focus of the elliptical reflector and a photocurable polymer-coated wire-like material or a fiber such as an optical fiber positioned at the second focus. An auxiliary reflector is located near the second focus in such a position as to direct light rays impinging thereon towards the second focus, thus increasing the amount of energy which impinges on the polymer coating.

摘要： A method and apparatus for curing three dimensional objects such as cylindrical two piece cans with ultraviolet light without having to rotate the cans, at conventional can line speeds and using a minimum number of lamp units. In a first embodiment, the cans are moved, without rotation, between at least a pair of ultraviolet lamp units so that the closest surfaces to the lamp units are substantially within the focal planes thereof. The lamp units are parallel to the direction of can movement or are rotated from that direction by a small angle with the lamp units of each pair being rotated by the same angle but in opposite senses. In a further embodiment, each lamp unit, instead of being faced by another lamp unit, is faced by a reflector to increase the cure speed attainable with the same number of lamp units.

摘要： An ultraviolet (UV) LED-based lamp for UV curing lamp assemblies is disclosed. An array of UV emitting LEDs are packaged together and arranged along the length of a cylindrical lens to form a UV LED-based optical component assembly. The UV LED-based optical component assembly may be made to be modular. A UV LED lamp assembly may comprise a plurality of UV LED-based optical component assemblies arranged around a workpiece tube. The workpiece tube may be filled with an inert gas and may be made of quartz or glass. One or more curved back reflectors may be placed opposite the LED UV LED-based optical component assemblies to collect UV light escaping the workpiece tube and refocus the light to the other side of the workpiece. The UV LEDs may be arranged on a single surface or a multi-level tiered platform.
