Abstract: A light source includes an electrodeless lamp having an envelope for enclosing a volatile fill material which emits light upon vaporization and excitation, a source of power at a high frequency and a termination fixture coupled to the source. The fixture has inner and outer conductors which have dimensions such that the lamp is located in the high field region at the end of the conductors. When the high frequency power is applied to the fixture, a voltage standing wave is formed which initiates vaporization and excitation of the fill material. The termination load impedance which is that of the lamp changes from a lossy open circuit to a finite value when vaporization and excitation occur. An impedance matching device is provided for matching the running lamp impedance to the output impedance of the source.

Abstract: An electrodeless lamp is excited by high frequency power in a termination fixture having an inner and an outer conductor, the lamp being located in the high field region at the end of the conductors. A source of ultraviolet radiation is located near the lamp and is activated momentarily when the lamp is to be excited. The radiation assists in initiating breakdown and excitation of the fill material in the lamp.

Abstract: A termination fixture for an electrodeless lamp has dimensions which match the output impedance of a coupled high frequency power source to the real impedance of the lamp when in a discharge condition. The fixture may consist of a pair of coaxial conductors, and the lamp forms the termination load for the ends of the conductors. The length of the conductors is such as to place the lamp one quarter wavelength from the opposite ends of the conductors. The diameters of the conductors are such as to produce a fixture characteristic impedance which matches the lamp impedance to the source output impedance.

Abstract: A lamp holding fixture for exciting an electrodeless lamp by high frequency power has a switchable characteristic impedance for impedance matching the lamp to the power source during both the starting and operating modes. The fixture has an inner conductor and two outer conductors of different dimensions in cross section. During the starting mode the inner conductor and the larger diameter outer conductor form the power coupling conductors for the fixture thereby providing a high characteristic impedance for matching the lamp impedance to the source output impedance. After starting, the smaller diameter outer conductor may be moved along its longitudinal axis until it contacts the power coupling end of the larger diameter outer conductor so that the inner conductor and the smaller diameter outer conductors form the power coupling conductors during the operating mode.

Abstract: A termination fixture for use in an electrodeless light source has an input impedance which is matched to the output impedance of a high frequency power source, even though the lamp which forms the termination for the fixture has a complex impedance when the lamp is in an excited state. The fixture has a pair of coaxial conductors of at least a quarter wavelength, the conductors being coupled to the source at one end and to the lamp at the other end. The conductors are shaped to create an impedance which matches the real component of the lamp impedance to the source impedance. A capacitor is formed across the inner and outer conductors at the source coupled end to compensate for the series capacitive reactance part of the lamp impedance at the lamp coupled end of the conductors.

Abstract: A termination fixture for exciting an electrodeless lamp with high frequency power matches a capacitive complex impedance of the lamp in an excited state to the output impedance of the high frequency source coupled to the fixture. The fixture has a pair of coaxial conductors which have a length of one quarter wavelength and which have a ratio of diameters effective to match the real impedance of the lamp to the impedance of the source. A helical coil couples the end of the inner conductor to the lamp. The purpose of the coil is to make the impedance of the lamp, as viewed, electrically, from the end of the inner conductor appear as having only the real component. The quarter wave fixture then matches the real impedance to the source impedance.
