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 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 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 pressure is low and when the RF power is in the range of 30 [W]${\sim}$40 [W].

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.

Offline switching power supplies have high voltage and high current switching waveforms that generate Electromagnetic Interference(EMI) in the form of both conducted and radiated emissions. Consequently, all off-line power supplies must be designed to attenuate or suppress EMI emissions below commonly acceptable limits. Electrodeless fluorescent lamp's ballasts have AC/DC flyback converter, so we must control the EMI emissions.

In this paper, we measured the electrical and optical characteristics of an electrodeless fluorescent lamp system as product of the inside and outside of the country and compared the measured data. Output current wave of domestic 150 W is unstable than it's of Endura 150 W. But the former of spend time after discharging and output current value is small than the latter. And optical characteristics(brightness, flux, color rendering index, efficiency) value of the former is a little small than the latter. In conclusion, if we improve a little more quality then we must secure the superiority in competition.

Photometric analysis is essential process to make design for 300W Electrodeless flood lighting fixture. But lighting source's unusual shape makes it difficult to fix in and so we supposed two kinds of installation method to solve this matter. One is to place lamp base down and second is to put lamp base side like normal HID lamps. In result, former photometric analysis came to reach a target for similar asymmetric photometric data meanwhile we can not escape work to design complicated reflector. Second analysis reached conclusion that it is more simplified reflector than former. On its lighting fixture's design, the former reflector is new and attractive breaking fixed idea but the latter is only staying in the range of existing HID lighting design.

In this paper, We have investigated the luminous flux, luminous efficacy, spectral energy distribution, colour rendering index, correlated colour temperature of electrodeless QL lamp system as a center method of measurement and side method of measurement. A result of measurement is that center method of measurement and side method of measurement is almost similar. Therefore, Sample that didn't measured because of big size and heavy weight can be measured by center method of measurement.

In this paper, electrical characteristics of inductively coupled plasma in an electrodeless fluorescent lamp were investigated using a Langmuir probe with a variation of argon gas pressure. The RF output was applied in the range of 5 ∼ 50 (W) at 13.56 (MHz). The internal plasma voltage of the chamber and the probe current were measured while varying the supply voltage to the Langmuir probe in the range of -100 (V) ∼+100 (V). When the pressure of argon gas was increased, electric current was decreased. There was a significant electric current increase from l0W to 30 〔W〕. Also, when the RF power was increased, electron density was increase. This implies that this method can be used to find an optimal RF rower for efficient light illumination in an electrodeless fluorescent lamp.

The RF inductive discharge of inductively couples 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. Although most practical ICPs 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, We discussed simulation and experimental results when changing ferrite position in antenna.
