An electrodeless discharge lamp with one or more stationary light emitting bulbs inside a common conductive shield to confine an electromagnetic excitation field provided by a plurality of sources. Each bulb can be excited by several electromagnetic radiation sources or by an individual electromagnetic radiation source. Tubular realization of the lamp, with two magnetron or transistor electromagnetic sources facing each other at the extremity of a tubular bulb, are particularly suitable for installation at the focal line of parabolic trough reflector. Some variants combine bulbs of different compositions, and excitation levels can be independently set to control the spectrum of emitted light.

Tubular electrodeless lamp

A discharge lamp () for providing visible and/or infrared radiation comprising a stationary light transmitting bulb () filled with a composition that emits light when in plasma state, a radiofrequency source () having an output terminal () radiating a radiofrequency field for ionizing and heating the composition in the bulb to bring it in a plasma state (), and a dielectric rod () aligned with the output terminal and positioned between the output terminal () and the bulb () acting as dielectric waveguide for the radiofrequency field.

Electrodeless plasma discharge lamp

An electrodeless discharge lamp suitable for the use in solar simulators, with an emission spectrum following, as much as possible, the AM1.5G standard. According to a preferred embodiment the lamp has a quartz bulb is filled with a composition comprising an inert gas, for example N, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe or a mixture thereof, and a first and a second active components, the first active component being an antimony or bismuth halide or a mixture of antimony halides; while the second component is SnIa mixture of halides of: In, Sn, Ag, Bi, Cu. Preferably, the halides are bromides or iodides or chlorides due to their favorable volatilities.
