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.

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.

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.

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 luminous efficacy 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 luminous flux tends to be decreased when argon pressure is increased, and the luminous flux is increased as RF fewer is increased. It was also found that the luminance efficacy is high when the argon pressure is low and when the RF power is low.

In this paper, we measured the electrical and optical characteristics of an electrodeless fluorescent lamp system as product from the inside and outside of the country and compared the measured data. Output current wave of domestic 85W is unstable than it's of QL 85 W and the former of spend time after discharging and output current value is larger than the latter. Moreover optical characteristics(brightness, flux, efficiency) value of the former is small than the latter but color rendering index is equivalent. In conclusion, if we improve a little more quality then we must secure the superiority in competition.

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.

Electrodeless fluorescent lamp exhibit two modes of operation : a low density mode in which the power is capacitively coupled to the plasma and which is known as the E-mode, and a higher density mode which is an inductive discharge known as the H-mode. The transition between these two(E to H) mode exhibits hysteresis. It is observed that transition currents change at different frequencies and hysteresis exists not only between the starting and minimum maintaining currents of the electromagnetic mode (H mode) discharge but also between the starting and minimum maintaining currents of the electrostatic mode (E mode) discharge. Hysteresis effect can be important role in dimming system.
