The present invention is a microwave excited lamp and a microwave gasket. A microwave excited lamp (10) in accordance with the invention includes at least one microwave source (12); a microwave structure (20) comprising a metallic material to which microwaves are coupled from the microwave source; the microwave structure, including a reflector (22) comprising the metallic material and containing a microwave excited bulb (24) which emits light in response to coupling of microwave power thereto from the microwave source; and at least one microwave gasket (100) which provides a microwave tight seal between a surface of the reflector and at least one other metallic part of the microwave structure with the gasket comprising the metallic material; and wherein during operation of the lamp a microwave current maxima flows on a surface of the gasket and the reflector.
A microwave excited lamp comprising:
In a microwave excited lamp including at least one microwave source, a microwave structure comprising a metallic material to which microwaves are coupled from the microwave source, the microwave structure including a reflector comprising the metallic material and containing a microwave excited bulb which emits light in response to coupling of microwave power thereto from the microwave source, and at least one microwave gasket which provides a microwave tight seal between a surface of the reflector and at least one other metallic part of the metallic microwave structure, and wherein during operation of the lamp a microwave current maxima flows on a surface of the reflector and the gasket, the gasket comprising:
