Abstract
An electrodeless discharge resonance lamp for producing light by microwave excitation of gas molecules is disclosed. The lamp comprises a head having a passage therethrough and a gas inlet port in communication with the passage. A window is removable mounted in the passage and a collimator is removably mounted in the passage adjacent and exterior to the window. Gas flow tubing is positioned in the passaged such that one end of the tubing is located between the gas inlet port and the window and the other end of the tubing extends out of the opposite passage. The tubing is smaller than the inside diameter of the passage to allow gas to flow therebetween. Finally, there are means for removably securing the tubing in place and microwave excitation means in communication with the tubing adjacent and exterior to the head.
