마이크로과 방전 무전극 황전등은 마그네트온에서 발생된 마이크로파로 2-원자 황을 여기하여 방출되는 빛을 조명에 사용하는 차세대 조명기구이다. 1990년대 초반에 미국의 Fusion Lighting Inc에 의해 최초로 소개된 무전극 황전등은 방전구 회전에 의한 방전을 하였다. 기존의 방전기술은 선형편파를 이용, 필드가 중앙에 모이므로 램프를 회전시켜 방전을 유지하였다. 그에 따라 시스템 구성이 복잡해지고 램프회전 속도에 따라 방전에 영향을 주었다. 본 논문에서는 원편파를 이용하여 램프 회전에 따른 문제점을 해결하고, 원편파에 의해 발생된 회전 플라즈마 방전현상을 실험적으로 보인다. 또한 원편파 방전에 의판 분광분포 및 휘도 분석등 방전 현상을 관찰했다. 아울러 연색성이 80이상, 색온도 4900k ${\sim}$ 6827k 범위를 보였다.

In this paper, using a Langmuir probe Ar gas characteristic of electrodeless fluorescent lamp which used an inductively coupled plasma were investigated. The RF output changed into 5-50W in 13.56MHz. At this time internal plasma voltage of the chamber and probe current were measured while changing in -70V - +70V with a supply voltage by Langmuir probe. If pressure of Ar gas was increased, the electric current tended to decrease. Also, an electric current was increased according to an increase of a RF output.

In this paper, the emission properties of electrodeless fluorescent lamp were discussed using the inductively coupled plasma. To transmit the electromagnetic energy into the chamber, a RF power of 13.56MHz was applied to the antenna and considering the Ar gas pressure and the RF electric power change, the emission spectrum, Ar- I line, luminance were investigated. At this time the input parameter for ICP RF plama, Ar gas pressure and RF power were applied in the range of $10{\sim}60m$ Torr, $10{\sim}300W$ respectively.

In view of global environmental problems and resource exhaustion, we must develop new energy resources that are abundant and provide substitutes for fossil fuels. Renewable energies, such as solar, are ideal because they are clean, inexhaustible, and available everywhere in the world. Photovoltaic(PV) system, in general, are operated as a stand-alone, grid-tied, or hybrid system. Many of the stand-alone PV systems are installed. Although the pre-installation cost of PV system is high, it poorly has been operated due to the absence of optimal management standards. Therefore a study on the performance of PV system is important for the system design and maintenance. In this paper a photovoltaic lighting system was resigned according to load consumption. Then a PV lighting system which used electrodeless lamp as a load was installed. In order to investigate the system operating characteristics we've added a monitoring system to the PV lighting system. The monitoring system using the LabVIEW program regularly checks the operation of the PV lighting system and records the system data. According to the system data, the stability and availability of the PV lighting system were evaluated.

The technology of sulfur lamps that has physical and electrical characteristics comparable to current HID source has been reported. The fundamental principles of the operation of microwave discharges that are used to convert microwave energy to broad spectrum visual light are known. In this paper, emission dependance of microwave discharges in mixture content of sulfur with noble gases was studied. It is shown that the excitation of this gaseous mixture is carried out in two phases: (l) ionization of noble gas atoms by a microwave field and (2) the consequent maintenance of slightly ionized nonequilibrium plasma by the field. These two processes have essentially various thresholds for the microwave pump. The purpose of this work is to investigate spectral properties of the high frequency discharges in a mixture sulfur vapors with noble gases.

The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue water solution was carried out by irradiating microwave and UV light simultaneously using $TiO_2$ photocatalyst balls prepared by Chemical Vapor Deposition method. A microwave-discharged electrodeless UV lamp was developed to use microwave and UV simultaneously for photocatalytic reactions. The results of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue showed that the decomposition rate increased with the microwave intensity, the circulating fluid velocity and auxiliary oxidizing agents added. Especially, the rate constant of $H_2O_2$-added photocatalytic reaction increased about three times from $0.0061min^{-1}$ to $0.0197min^{-1}$ when microwave was additionally irradiated. This study demonstrates that the microwave irradiation can play a very important role in photocatalytic degradation using peroxides although it is not easy to quantitatively assess the effect of microwave on photocatalytic reactions from the experimental data of this study.

In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in TiO$_2$ particles-dispersed water solution was carried out by irradiating microwave and UV light simultaneously. A microwave-discharged electrodeless UV lamp was developed to use microwave and UV simultaneously for photocatalytic reactions. The results of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue showed that the decomposition rate increased with the microwave intensity, the circulating fluid velocity, and the amount of TiO$_2$ particles and auxiliary oxidizing agents added. Especially, the rate constant of H$_2$O$_2$-added photocatalytic reaction increased about three times from 0.0075 min$^{-1}$ to 0.0250 min$^{-1}$ when microwave was additionally irradiated. This study demonstrates that the microwave irradiation can play a very important role in photocatalytic degradation using peroxides although it is not easy to quantitatively assess the effect of microwave on photocatalytic reactions from the experimental data of this study.
