Abstract: A lucent crucible of a Lucent Waveguide Microwave Plasma Light Source (LWMPLS) comprising a Light Emitting Resonator (LER) in form of a crucible (1) of fused quartz which has a central void (2) having microwave excitable material (3) within it. In one example, the void is 4 mm in diameter and has a length (L) of 21 mm. The LWMPLS is operated at a power (P) of 280 W and thus with a plasma loading P/L of 133 w/cm and a wall loading of 106 w/cm2. The lamp is thus operated with a high efficiency—in terms of lumens per watt—while having a reasonable lifetime.

Abstract: A Lucent Waveguide Electromagnetic wave Plasma Light Source has a fabrication of fused quartz sheet and drawn tube. An inner closed void enclosure is formed of 8 mm outside diameter, 4 mm inside diameter drawn tube. Electromagnetic wave excitable plasma material is sealed inside the enclosure. The end plate is circular and has the enclosure sealed in a central bore in it, the bore not being numbered as such. A similar plate is positioned to leave a small gap between the inner end of the enclosure and itself. The two tubes are concentric with the two plates extending at right angles to their central axis. The outer tube extends back from the back surface of the inner plate as a skirt.

Abstract: A lucent waveguide plasma light source has a quartz waveguide body with a central through bore. The bore has orifices at its opposite ends, opening centrally of flat, end faces of the body. Between these the body has a circular cylindrical periphery. A drawn quartz tube is inserted into the body. The tube has its one end closed and a collar which locates the tube in the bore and is fused to the faces at the orifices of the bore. The tube is evacuated and charged with excitable material and closed as a sealed void. A Faraday cage and an antenna in a bore in the body are provided for feeding microwave energy to the light source. When powered with microwaves, resonance is established in the wave guide and a plasma is established in the void, wherein Light radiates and leaves the waveguide and Faraday cage radially of the periphery.

Abstract: A lamp 1 comprises an oscillator and amplifier source 2 of microwave energy, typically operating at 2.45 or 5.8 GHz or other frequencies within an ISM band. The source passes the microwaves via a matching circuit 3 to an antenna 4 extending into a re -entrant 5 in a lucent waveguide 6. This is of quartz and has a central cavity 7 accommodating a bulb 8. The bulb is a sealed tube 9 of quartz and contains a fill of noble gas and a microwave excitable material, which radiates visible light when excited by microwaves. The bulb has a stem 10 received in a stem bore 11 extending from the central cavity. The waveguide is transparent and light from the bulb can leave it in any direction, subject to any reflective surfaces. Microwaves cannot leave the waveguide, which is limited at its surfaces by a Faraday cage. Typically this comprises an ITO coating 12 on a front face of the waveguide, a light reflective coating 10, typically of silver with silicon monoxide coating 13 on a rear face and a wire mesh 14, which contacts both the ITO and light reflective coatings and is grounded, the wire mesh extending around sides of the waveguide between the front and back surfaces. Light can pass through the wire mesh for collection and use.
