Description
本件出願人の718出願は、「誘電体導波管」、すなわちマイクロ波プローブによってマイクロ波エネルギー供給源と結合した導波管を有しており、誘電物質からなる本体とこの本体中へ延伸するランプチャンバ側面とを有する「誘電体導波管一体化型プラズマランプ」(DWIPL)を開示している。供給源動作周波数および導波管本体の寸法は、少なくとも一つの電場最高点を有する少なくとも一つの共振モードで本体が共振するように選択される。さらにこのランプは、チャンバ内にバルブ(電球)を備えている。このように、本体、チャンバ、およびバルブは、一体構造として組み込まれている。バルブは、導波管によってバルブにマイクロ波エネルギーが導かれたときに発光プラズマを形成する充填混合物(「充填物」)を含有している。この718出願は、誘電体導波管および二つのマイクロ波プローブを有する誘電体導波管一体型プラズマランプも開示している。一方のプローブは、このプローブとマイクロ波供給源との間のフィードバック手段に結合しており、導波管本体をプローブ測定して即座に場の振幅および位相をサンプリングするとともに、この情報をフィードバック手段を介して供給源に提供し、導波管本体内で少なくとも一つの共振モードを維持できるよう動作周波数を動的に調整し、これにより、ランプが「誘電体共振発振器」モードで作動する。さらに、718出願は、導波管本体の形状、バルブのタイプ(一つのエンベロープに対し一つの自己封入バルブ)、バルブの数(1対2)、ランプチャンバの数(1対2)、プローブの数(1対2)に応じて異なった誘電体導波管一体型プラズマランプの実施例を開示している。
特許出願公開第2003/0178943A1号として公開された一部継続出願第10/356、340号(以下「340出願」という)(発明の名称「Microwave Energized Plasma Lamp With Solid Dielectric Waveguide」)は、マイクロ波エネルギーを充填物に供給する「ドライブプローブ」や「フィードバックプローブ」のデザインを向上させたもの、またドライブプローブの過結合を緩和する「スタートプローブ」の使用、およびプラズマの形成前およびプラズマが安定状態に達した後に本体から供給源へ反射するパワーを最小化する2プローブ型用または3プローブ型用の増幅器や制御回路の使用を開示している。さらにこの340出願は、導波管本体空洞(すなわちランプチャンバ)を窓またはレンズで封止し、この封止がランプ作動時に生じる熱機械応力やチャンバ圧力に耐えるとする技術手段や、誘電体導波管一体型プラズマランプ用の別の技術手段や、二つの固体誘電物質からなる導波管本体を開示している。
本発明の第2態様において、ランプは、誘電体導波管本体のランプチャンバに密接に取付けた自己封入バルブを備えている。このランプチャンバは、開口部によって画定されるとともに、封入エンクロージャーは、底表面と少なくとも一つの周囲壁表面とによって画定される。バルブは、透明な誘電物質からなる円筒形状壁を有しており、これは同じ誘電物質からなる底部に付着している。バルブの上円周端は、透明な窓で密閉封止されている。バルブの外表面はチャンバ壁表面と熱接触し、バルブ底の外表面はチャンバの底表面と熱接触する。
本発明の第3態様においては、ランプチャンバは、誘電体導波管本体のランプチャンバ内に配置される自己封入バルブを備えている。このチャンバは、開口部とエンクロージャーによって画定される。このエンクロージャーは、底表面と少なくとも一つの周囲壁表面によって画定される。バルブは、透過性誘電物質からなる円筒壁を備えており、対向した下方表面と上方表面を有する外周リップを上方に延長し、また透過底部に付着している。このリップの下方表面は、開口部と外接するバルブ支持構造に密閉封止するとともに、導波管本体に取り付けられている。さらに、バルブは、リップ上方表面で密閉封止した窓を備えている。
本発明の第4態様においては、ランプは、誘電体導波管本体のランプチャンバを備えており、これは、開口部と、誘電物質の周囲壁の境界となり対称的に底部へ先細りとなる形状の表面とによって画定される。さらにこのランプは、底部に取り付けられる円筒状で透明な壁を有する自己封入バルブと、この壁に密閉封止される窓とを備えている。バルブの底部は、第1接着層によってセラミック台に付着している。このセラミック台は、第2接着層により底部付近に付着している。チャンバの表面は、ランプ出力放射を受ける光学系に課せられる放射線拡散の規格を満たすように、バルブ内でプラズマが発した光を導く形状となっている。
以下、図面に基づいてこの発明の実施例を詳細且つ具体的に説明する。
石英や同様の物質からなるプラズマバルブの外表面に施される薄膜の多層誘電体コーティングは、1000度まで接近する加熱・室温までの冷却という多数のサイクルを経る。かかるコーティングの耐用寿命は、依然として限定されている。
