Abstract

See full text

Electrodeless high intensity discharge lamps have the promise of higher reliability and higher efficiency than traditional electroded high intensity discharge lamps. However most electrodeless HIDs operate in the frequency range of around 400 MHz to 2.5 GHz resulting in expensive, inefficient RF drivers that reduce the overall efficacy of the lamp. Operating the lamp at lower frequencies results in substantial increase in the size of the resonators used in traditional electrodeless HIDs. In this invention a novel design is used to lower the operating frequency of the resonator without increasing the size of the resonator. This provides an avenue to increase the conversion efficiency of the RF driver and the efficacy of the lamp system.
