An Interference Method of Excitation of an Electrodeless Sulfur Lamp: Simulation and Experiment

This chapter presents a novel approach to creating an energy-efficient power lighting source based on an electrodeless sulfur lamp with microwave excitation. The feature of such an approach is applying the interference method for creating a standing wave into an electrodynamic structure by summarizing two traveling electromagnetic waves. As an electrodynamic lighting system structure, one proposed using an optically transparent (mesh) rectangular waveguide. The design of the electrodynamic structure associated with using the interference method is given, and the main advantages of such an approach of exciting the electrodeless sulfur lamp are shown.
