Recently, 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 technology. To the point of lighting sources, the electrodeless fluorescent lamps utilizing an inductively coupled plasma(ICP) have been objects of interest and research during the last decades, mainly because of their potential for extremely long life, high lamp efficacies, rapid power switching response. The electrodeless fluorescent lamp that is dealt with in this work comprises a bulb filled with rare gas and amalgam of vaporizable metal and has a coil provided with a winding around the ferrite. Current through a coil produces a magnetic field in the discharge space The changing magnetic flux then produces an azimuthal electric field E around the coil, according to Faraday's laws of magnetic induction.

In Recent, it became necessary to develope the technology about electrodeless fluorescent lamp according to demand of the electodeless fluorescent lamp system that used higher efficiency and advantage of long-lifetime. Especially, in the electordeless fluorescent lamp which used H-mode, efficiency of lamp is decided from matching parameter of antena and inverter, so it is of the utmost importance to design antena and inverter. Therefore, this paper used a transformer principle for an efficiency rising of electrodeless fluorescent lamp and interpreted an equivalent circuit, and confirmed a luminance characteristic by ferrite change of antenna and change of coil turns. Also, this paper used the thermoelectric element which can let you cool ferrite and antenna and confirmed the luminance characteristic along a change of ferrite and an antenna temperature.

The advantage of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp is the removal of internal electrodes and heating filaments that are a light-limiting factor of conventional fluorescent lamps. Therefore, the life time of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamps is substantially higher than that of conventional fluorescent lamps and last up to 60,000 hours and is intended as a high efficacy replacement for the incandescent reflector lamp in many applications. In this paper, maxwell 3D finite element analysis program(Ansoft) was used to obtain electromagnetic properties associated with the coil and nearby structures. The electromagnetic emitting properties were presented by 3D simulation software operated at 250[kHz] and some specific conditions

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 luminance 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 300[mTorr] or 500[mTorr] and the RF power was varied from 10[W] to 200[W]. It was found that the luminance tends to be decreased when argon and neon pressure is increased, and the luminance is increased as RF power is increased. It was also found that the luminance per unit RF power is high when the argon and neon pressure is low and when the RF power is in the range of $30[W]{\sim}40[W]$ or 10[W].

This paper presents a new modeling method using lamp output power and the modeling coefficients of the lamp. The proposed method utilizes the lamp modeling coefficients such as equivalent impedance Z(p), coupling coefficient of the transformer k(p), turns ratio of the transformer n(p), and plasma resistance Rp(p) as a function of lamp output power. The equivalent impedance Z(p) was developed from the equivalent resistance Req(p) and equivalent inductance Leq(p) of the lamp. Simulation and experimental results of the proposed model are presented in order to validate the proposed method. The modeling method can use to design an impedance matching circuit for a Class-D inverter.

유도결합형 플라즈마(Inductively coupled plasma)는 조명기술 분야에서도 효과적인 방전 소스로 이용되고 있다. 이중 무전극 램프에서의 유도결합형 플라즈마의 이용은 장수명은 물론 높은 효율과 넓은 동작 온도특성, 전원 인가시와 동시에 방전이 개시되는 등 여러 가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Re-entr-ant Type QL-lamp에 사용되어진 페라이트의 형태에 변화를 주어 이에 따른 전자계 특성을 살펴보았다. 먼저 페라이트 코어의 특성에 따른 임의의 영역에서의 자속 및 자속밀도 그리고 자계강도 등을 고려하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통한 페라이트 크기의 변화에 따른 전자계 분포 특성을 조사하였다.
