Abstract:
1. An electrodeless plasma lamp apparatus comprising: an input coupling element, the input coupling element having a first input end, a second input end, and an input length provided between the first input end and the second input end; an RF source coupled to the first input end of the input coupling element; a first ground potential coupled to the second input end of the input coupling element; an output coupling element spatially disposed within a vicinity of the input coupling element, the output coupling element comprising a first output end, a second output end, and an output length provided between the first output end and the second output end; a spatial distance configured between the input length and the output length; a dielectric fill material or materials configured to enclose one or more portions of the input coupling element, the output coupling element, and the spatial distance between the input coupling element and the output coupling element; and a bulb device coupled to the first output end of the output coupling element.
