  • Inductively-driven plasma light source
    Patent number: 7307375
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing light includes a chamber that has a plasma discharge region and that contains an ionizable medium. The apparatus also includes a magnetic core that surrounds a portion of the plasma discharge region. The apparatus also includes a pulse power system for providing at least one pulse of energy to the magnetic core for delivering power to a plasma formed in the plasma discharge region. The plasma has a localized high intensity zone.

  • Laser-Driven Light Source
    Publication number: 20070228300
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing light includes a chamber and an ignition source that ionizes a gas within the chamber. The apparatus also includes at least one laser that provides energy to the ionized gas within the chamber to produce a high brightness light. The laser can provide a substantially continuous amount of energy to the ionized gas to generate a substantially continuous high brightness light.

  • Inductively-driven plasma light source
    Publication number: 20070075053
    Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation source includes a toroidal chamber that contains an ionizable medium. The electromagnetic radiation source also includes a magnetic core that surrounds a portion of the toroidal chamber. The electromagnetic radiation source also includes a pulse power system for providing pulses of energy to the magnetic core for delivering power to a plasma formed in the toroidal chamber to produce electromagnetic radiation that radiates radially through walls of the toroidal chamber.
