Open chamber photoluminescent lamp

摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed for an open chamber photoluminescent lamp. The planar lamp is gas-filled contains materials that emit visible light when the gas emits ultraviolet energy in response to a plasma discharge. comprises first second opposing plates manufactured from glass material having loss tangent ≦0.05%. In another embodiment have dielectric constant greater than 5. yet embodiment, volume resistivity 1×10 12 Ωcm. A plurality of sidewalls coupled peripheral edges so surfaces define interior portion material, spaced-apart electrodes disposed along exterior surface at least one create electric field electrical power applied thereto whereby interacts with contained by chamber.
