Patent
Electrodeless light source having rare earth molecular continua
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe electrodeless lamp apparatus with a termination fixture coupled to the envelope of a rare-earth compound fill, which is used to create an electrical condition for exciting the fill.
Patent
Adjustable length center conductor for termination fixtures for electrodeless lamps
TL;DR: In this paper, a light source includes a source of high frequency power, an electrodelsss lamp and a termination fixture for coupling power to the lamp, the fixture having an outer conductor and an inner conductor whose length is adjustable for providing dynamic matching of the impedance of the lamp during the operating mode to the output impedance.
Patent
Electrodeless light source having improved arc shaping capability
TL;DR: In this paper, an electrodeless lamp is positioned at the end of an inner and outer conductor forming a termination fixture, the inner conductor being shaped such that the arc within the lamp during excitation is isolated from the wall of the lamp envelope.
Patent
Automatic starting system for solid state powered electrodeless lamps
TL;DR: In this article, a starting assist control circuit for an electrodeless light source in which a UV source for assisting in starting a lamp is coupled in series with the dc supply for a microwave power source for the lamp so that a reduced dc voltage is supplied to the microwave at lamp starting.
Patent
Continuous automatic starting assist uv circuit for microwave powered electrodeless lamps
TL;DR: In this paper, a starting assist control circuit for an electrodeless light source in which a UV source for assisting in starting a lamp is coupled in series with the DC supply for a microwave power source for the lamp so that a reduced DC voltage is supplied to the microwave at lamp starting.
