Electrodeless single low power CW laser driven plasma lamp

摘要

The ignition promoting electrodeless sealed high intensity lighting device is configured to receive a laser beam from a continuous wave (CW) laser light source. The sealed chamber is configured to contain an ionizable medium. The chamber has an entrance window disposed within a wall of the inner surface of the chamber configured to direct a laser beam into the chamber, a plasma maintenance region, and high intensity light configured to emit high intensity light from the chamber. An exit window. The CW laser beam can be generated by a CW laser of less than 250 watts configured to generate a wavelength of less than 1100 nm. The instrument is configured to focus the laser beam to a full width at half maximum (FWHM) beam waist of 1-15 microns ² and a Rayleigh length of 6 microns or less, and the plasma is configured to be ignited by the CW laser beam.
