Abstract:
A high pressure gas discharge lamp and the method of making same utilizing integrated circuit fabrication techniques. The lamp is manufactured from heat and pressure resistant planar substrates in which cavities are etched, by integrated circuit manufacturing techniques, so as to provide a cavity forming the gas discharge tube. Electrodes are deposited in the cavity. The cavity is filled with gas discharge materials such as mercury vapor, sodium vapor or metal halide. The substrates are bonded together and channels may be etched in the substrate so as to provide a means for connection to the electrodes. Electrodeless RF activated lamps may also be fabricated by this technique. Micro-lasers may also be fabricated by this technique as well.

Abstract:
An electrodeless fluorescent lamp and fixture is disclosed which operates at radio frequencies and contains a bifilar coil to reduce RF voltage between the plasma and the coil and a metallic cylinder (10) to remove heat from a said bifilar coil. The bifilar coil consists of two windings. The primary (induction) winding (6) is used to generate RF electrical azimuthal field in the bulb volume needed to maintain the inductively-coupled RF plasma. The second (bifilar) winding (18) has essentially the same number of turns and is wound on the inductive winding (6), but in the direction opposite to that of the primary (inductive) winding. The RF current flowing in the inductive winding (6) induces an RF voltage of the opposite polarity in the bifilar winding (18), so two adjacent turns of both windings have equal (or nearly equal) but of opposite sign RF potentials with respect to the plasma. This results in the mutual "cancellation" of capacitive RF electric fields induced by both windings in the plasma and in a sheath formed between the plasma and the cavity walls. The reduction of the electric field in turn results in the lowering of a direct current voltage across the sheath thereby lowering the energy of ions which are accelerated in this sheath coating. The lowering of ion energy reduces the damage caused by ions and leads to improved maintenance and a longer life lamp.
