최근 10여 년간 고광도 방전등 기술은 많은 발전이 있었다. 특히 마이크로파로 방전하는 무전극 황 방전등 (Microwave discharged electrodeless sulfur lamp)은 1990년대 초반 Fusion lighting에 의해 소개된 이후 많은 발전을 거듭하여 왔다. 마이크로 파 방전 무전극 황전등은 마그네트론에서 발생된 2.45 GHz의 마이크로파로 여기된 이원자 황으로부터 방출되는 빛을 조명에 사용한다. 전극이 없어 방전시 전극에 의한 전구의 손상이 없으므로 전구 자체의 수명은 반영구적이다. 이원자 황에서 방출된 빛은 가시광선 영역에서 연속적인 분광분포를 가지며 발광 효율은 100 lumen/W 이상으로 매우 높다. 본 논문에서는 전력연 구원에서 국내 최초로 제작한 마이크로파 방전형 무전극 황전등의 전반적인 특성을 소개한다.

In this study, several experiment is executed to analyze properties of Electrodeless Discharge Lamp using H-Discharge. 1. The operating frequency of this lamp is $2.45{\sim}2.65$[MHz] 2. The color of light is mild-white. And, it is shifted in the direction of red in low temperature. 3. In ambient temperature under $10^{\circ}C$, luminous efficiency is decreased precipitously. Therefore, research for improvement discharge-characteristic in low temperature need. 4. Discharge-characteristic stable between $160{\sim}240$[V]. And, luminous output is inverse proportion to coil-voltage. 5. When input-voltage is decreased continuously unstable section exist.

This paper presents a remote dimming control method for the electrodeless lamps using 2.4 GHz RF communication. Since the proposed dimming method are implemented with a simplest open loop control using ISM band HF modem and low cost MCUs, and the remote controller has just several functions such as On/Off and duty ratio increasing/decreasing. It can be made with low cost. In this paper, the detailed digital logics of the proposed remote dimming control are described and the experimental results are presented.

A impedance model simulating the electrical characteristics of the Electrodeless fluorescent lamp operated at high frequency is proposed. The model is constructed from a two parameter equation which is derived based on a set of two measurements. This is a readily constructed and computer simulator oriented model which is suitable for a preliminary design of electronic ballasts. Simulated and experimental results arc used to verify the analytical discussions, and, moreover, an electronic ballast design example using the proposed model is presented to further demonstrate its applications.

Characteristics of electrodelss lamp as a load of the ballast is different compared to normal fluorescent lamp because the lamp includes the magnetics for inductive discharging process. So somewhat different modeling is necessary to make a proper power match between the lamp and ballast. Modeling of an electrodeless lamps, Endura of Osram, is presented in this paper. Simulation with a result of experiment is given for a verification of proposed model.

In this paper, we have investigated the inductive voltages, currents, frequencies of output line of electrodeless fluorescent lamp system as an surge is supplied and have analyzed the surge characteristics as an phase alteration of input voltage with an surge suppling. A result os measurement is that the inductive over-voltages(H-PE, N-PE) on output line of electrodeles fluorescent lamp system showed more high than inductive overvoltages of H(hot)-N(neutral) line. Therefore, designer of system will lay emphasis on an protective circuit with considening an overvoltage(H-PE, N-PE) or phase of input voltage.

The RF inductive discharge or inductively coupled plasma (ICP) continues to attract growing attention as an effective plasma source in many industrial applications, the best known of which are plasma processing and lighting technicology. Although most practical ICP operate at 13.56 [MHz]and 2.65 [MHz], the trend to reduce the operating frequency is clearly recognizable from recent ICP developments. In an electrodeless fluorescent lamp, the use of a lower operating frequency simplifies and reduces cost of rf matching systems and rf generators and can eliminate capacitive coupling between the inductor coil and plasma, which could be a strong factor in wall erosion and plasma contamination. In this study, the configuration of ferrite and fixture which operates at the frequency of 2.65[MHz]was discussed as functions of the ferrite thickness and distance by using the electromagnetic simulation software (Maxwell 2D).

In this paper, an application of the ZVT-PWM(zero-voltage-transition) boost converter, which has great advantage on miniaturization and high power density, to the power factor correction circuit of the EFL(electrodeless fluorescent lamp) inverter is studied. The operation principles of the converter are described to identify the power factor correction characteristic of the inverter. Experimentally obtaining the high power factor above 0.99, it is verified that the power factor correction of the EFL inverter successfully achieved.

Inductively coupled plasma is commonly used for electrodeless lamp due to its ease of plasma generation. Optical characteristics significantly depend on the RF power and gas pressure of the plasma. This paper describes the measurement of spectrum as a function of RF power and gas pressure with a goal of finding optimal operating conditions of the electrodeless lamp. The gas pressure was varied from 10 [mTorr] to 100 [mTorr] and the RF power was varied from 10 [W] to 120 [W]. It was found that the intensity of wavelength tends to be decreased when argon pressure is increased, and the intensity of wavelength is increased as RF power is increased.
