Abstract

A compact high-intensity microwave discharge lamp and ignition system have been investigated using a couple of antennas and a solid-state microwave generator. It is found that the antenna-excited microwave discharge lamps can sustain mercury discharges at pressures higher than 100 atm with 2.45 GHz microwave power lower than 80 W, and that a stable plasma column is generated isolated from the lamp wall. The radial radiant profile is much different from that of conventional microwave discharge lamps without electrodes.
