Frequency modulated photon excited light source

This invention relates means for illumination of sealed bulbs containing an predetermined inner gaseous environment to be excited to a spontaineous emission predominately by frequency modulated photon pumped into sealed bulb through a fiber-optic waveguide by a laser, said waveguide being clad where is extends from laser and is coupled to sealed bulb and unclad where it extends through sealed bulb, and further has an intragally formed reflective end section for provisions of feedback of frequency modulated photons through the waveguide core at the output end, thereby producing counter-travelling photons within the waveguide causing said photons to collide at a variety of incident angles as to cause photons to be emitted from the unclad waveguide within sealed bulb therefore stimulating the inner gaseous environment to a spontaineous emission which in turn stimulates a frequency modulated fluorescent photon interaction coating source which creates visible light.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 
The present invention utilizes an electric current which is placed across 
electrodes at both ends of a sealed bulb, which has a fluorescent material 
on its inner diameter and is filled with various gases or vapors, which 
are subjected to electron bombardment emitted from the electrodes, causing 
collisions with the outer electrons in orbit around the nucleous of the 
atoms of gas causing disruption of the atom's electron orbit, wherein 
ultraviolet photon energy is created, which in turn strikes the 
fluorescent coating on the inner diameter of the bulb causing it to emit 
visible light. It happens that an electron disruption of a low pressure 
mercury vapor produces an abundance of one particular wavelength in this 
short-wave ultraviolet region and phosphors are selected and blended to 
respond efficiently at that wavelength as to produce different colors of 
visible light. 
Fluorescent compounds can be conveniently divided into two classes: those 
excited by higher frequency and thos excited by lower frequency 
ultraviolet radiation. This radiation occurs when a gas or vapor is 
electrically excited and this emission may take place in a series of 
steps, each step from a highly excited state to some lower state of 
excitation being marked by radiation at a wavelength peculiar to that 
step. The many millions of excited atoms enclosed in a discharge tube thus 
returns to normal by one or more stages; some in two, others in three, and 
so on: but with any given conditions of pressure, current density, etc., 
in a particular gas or vapor, the relative numbers of atoms returning to 
their normal state by any of the alternative paths is fixed at a definite 
proportion of the whole. Each of the radiations characteristic of the gas 
or vapor are therefore emitted, but some are stronger than others; and by 
careful control of the current density and pressure it is possible to some 
extent to alter the relative strengths of these radiations. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
According to the present invention, an electrodeless light source is 
provided in which the problems mentioned have been overcome. More 
specifically, the light source utilizes stimulated atomic emission, 
comprising: a laser (4) producing photons of a predetermined modulated 
frequency; a sealed bulb 7 which contains a predetermined inner gaseous 
environment, and a predetermined frequency modulated fluorescent photon 
interaction coating source on the inner walls; and a fiber-optic waveguide 
5 coupled to said laser and extending through said gaseous environment, 
contained within said sealed bulb 7; said waveguide 5 being clad with a 
material with more density than that of the waveguide core 6; where it is 
coupled to said laser 4 and extending to said sealed bulb 7 and unclad as 
it extends through said gaseous environment contained within said sealed 
bulb 7, and further said waveguide 5 has an intragally formed reflective 
end section 9 for provisions of feedback of frequency modulated photon 
through the waveguide core 6 at the output end, said predetermined 
frequency modulated photon being pumped through said waveguide 5 by said 
laser 4 thereby producing counter-travelling photons within the waveguide 
5 thereby increasing the intensity of photon emission within the waveguide 
5, thereby enhancing the probability of photon collision at a variety of 
incident angles as to cause photons to be emitted from the portion of 
unclad waveguide 6 within said sealed bulb 7 therefore stimulating the 
inner gaseous environment to a spontaineous emission which in turn 
stimulates a frequency modulated fluorescent photon interaction coating 
source on the inner diameter of the sealed bulb 7 thereby producing cold 
light without electrical stimulation to start a photon emission, therefore 
eliminating direct electrical stimulation. This is best understood by 
looking at the physicist's favorite example, the simple hydrogen atom, in 
which a single electron orbits a nucleous consisting of a single proton. 
There is a unique quantum number assigned to each orbit, which, along with 
the energy level, increases with the distance from the nucleous. The 
innermost orbit has a quantum number of one, and when it is occupied, the 
atom is in its lowest energy level. Hydrogen's single electron tends to 
occupy the lowest-energy, the innermost orbit, and while there, the 
electron and the atom are said to be in the ground state. To achieve a 
higher orbit an electron needs energy. A photon is a particularly 
convenient bundle of energy. When a photon of sufficient modulated 
frequency comes along, the electron absorbs the photon and jumps into a 
higher orbit. The electron (and the atom) are then said to be in an 
excited state. The electron cannot remain excited for long, however, and 
soon--generally within a tiny fraction of a second--drops back down to its 
ground state. When it does so, it must get rid of its extra energy, which 
it does by emitting a photon, a photon of the same energy and wavelength 
as the one it has just absorbed. This process is called spontaineous 
emission. 
Inasmuch, the old process of finding a gas capable of precise emissions of 
radiation upon disruption of electron orbit due to electron bombardment is 
to say the least very limited. Many varieties of gas can absorb frequency 
modulated photons, emitting same; thus the variety and or color of light 
could be accomplished the same as it always has, simply by introducing the 
desired wavelength needed for stimulation of the frequency modulated 
fluorescent photon interaction coating source in the form of frequency 
modulated photons to the same gases or vapors and fluorescent compounds 
now used. However this art is now not limited to three basic types of 
gases or vapors and seven fluorescent powders or phosphors, however any 
gas or vapor capable of absorbing photons of a predetermined wavelength 
and emitting photons of the same exciting wavelength and further gases 
like nitrogen, oxygen, argon, neon, helium, krypton and xenon, etc. may 
now be made to emit ultraviolet energy for interaction with frequency 
modulated fluorescent photon interaction coating sources making color 
output almost limitless.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in 
FIGS. 1 and 3, a light source, indicated generally by the reference 
numeral 7, includes a laser 4, pumping photons of a predetermined 
modulated frequency through a fiber-optic waveguide 5, which is coupled 8 
to a sealed bulb 7. Said waveguide being clad with a material with more 
density than that of the waveguide core 6. The waveguide core 6 extending 
through the sealed bulb 7 containing a predetermined inner gaseous 
environment being unclad, and further the waveguide 5 of FIG. 3 has an 
integrally formed reflective end section 9 for provisions of feedback of 
frequency modulated photons through the waveguide core 6 at the output 
end, thereby increasing the intensity of photon emission within the 
waveguide 5, thereby enhancing the probability of photon collision at a 
variety of incident angles as to cause frequency modulated photons to be 
emitted from the unclad waveguide core 6 into sealed bulb 7, containing an 
inner gaseous environment, thereby stimulating the inner gaseous 
environment to a spontaineous emission, which in turn stimulates a 
frequency modulated fluorescent photon interaction coating source on the 
inner diameter of the sealed bulb 7, thereby creating visible light. 
For the FIG. 2 embodiment, the sectional view, the connectors 8 are of a 
screw in type to allow easy bulb 7 to bulb 7 series connection and the 
movable pins 10 are designed to take advantage of prexisting lighting 
fixtures.
