摘要： Methods and systems for producing a change in a medium. A first method and system (1) place in a vicinity of the medium at least one upconverter including a gas for plasma ignition, with the upconverter being configured, upon exposure to initiation energy, to generate light for emission into the medium, and (2) apply the initiation energy from an energy source including the first wavelength λ1 to the medium, wherein the emitted light directly or indirectly produces the change in the medium. A second method and system (1) place in a vicinity of the medium an agent receptive to microwave radiation or radiofrequency radiation, and (2) apply as an initiation energy the microwave radiation or radiofrequency radiation by which the agent directly or indirectly generates emitted light in the infrared, visible, or ultraviolet range to produce at least one of physical and biological changes in the medium.

摘要： In electrodeless HID lamps the radio frequency (RF) source is separated from a lamp housing in which vessel containing plasma arc is mounted. This lamp housing is usually designed to maximize the amount of RF energy incident on the plasma arc. The plasma arc, however, cannot convert the entire amount of incident RF energy into light and a portion instead is released as propagating radiation or remains localized RF electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of lamp. In this invention, we introduce field suppression probes: Small, configurable structures that are made of conductive materials that mount directly to the lamp housing or alternately the lamp fixture that is able to suppress unused RF energy that is emanated from the lamp housing or plasma. These probes, when configured with the lamp, can substantially suppress the unused RF energy and prevent EMI emissions and reduce RF feedback that can adversely affect the lamp.

摘要： The user of plasma light technology and remote lighting control techniques may enable a single master controller to control a large number of lighting fixtures. Multiple lighting fixtures may be equipped with control applications. Each control application may control the radio frequency driver of a lighting fixture that drives the plasma bulbs of the lighting fixture to produce light output for growing plants. The master controlled may execute on one or more computing devices. The master controller may send input instructions to the control applications of the lighting fixtures via a network. The instructions may be implemented by the control applications to command the radio frequency drivers to regulate a spectral distribution and/or intensity of the light output of the lighting fixtures.

摘要： 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.

摘要： An electronic ballast for driving a gas discharge lamp includes an EMI filter, a bridge rectifier coupled to a DC bus without a conventional electrolytic capacitor, a passive valley fill circuit built as a network having 4 charge/discharge energy storage capacitors and 9 diodes (4C9C), and a resonant DC to AC high frequency inverter for powering gas discharge lamp. The 4C9D circuit divides the rectified peak voltage by four and the low output voltage of the circuit is used to provide continuous lamp operation. The result is a ballast having substantially improved power factor, total harmonic distortion, and current crest factor. The electronic ballast is provided with a dimming capability from a TRIAC based wall dimmer.
