A New Explanation of the Instability of High Intensity Discharge Operated in High Frequency

Abstract

Analyzed the irrationality of so called "acoustic resonance" theory, that was suggested forty years ago to explain the instability of high frequency arc generated in high intensity discharge lamp. Presented a new idea that the ion oscillation in plasma is the culprit of instability of high frequency arc.
