Abstract :
The LiFi lamp utilizes a microwave technology which directly delivers high-frequency power to a light-emitting plasma without the need for electrodes. A dielectric waveguide generates electromagnetic field modes within a resonator which efficiently couple the power to the high-temperature high-density plasma.
