Abstract
A UV system for irradiating a substrate includes a lamphead having an enclosure with an interior. A UV bulb is positioned in the interior and is capable of emitting UV energy when excited by RF energy. The UV system also includes a solid state RF source capable of generating the RF energy. The RF energy is transmitted to the UV bulb, which causes the UV bulb to ignite and emit the UV energy from the interior of the lamphead.
