Application of ICP in the development of mercury-less light sources have been investigated. Xenon has been used as a replacement for mercury as the environmental issues related to it necessitate the development of new type of light sources. RF energy at 13.56MHz was induced to the cylindrical tube with input power ranging from 1W up to 100W. By changing the xenon gas pressure, coil turns and phosphor coating conditions, differences in emission intensities (luminance), spectra and discharge states were observed. In order to obtain the ICP discharge, the lamp was operated first in capacitive mode and then in inductive mode. These modes are known as E-mode (capacitively or CCP) and H-mode (inductively or ICP) respectively. High luminance can only be obtained when operating the lamp in H-mode. The optical emission spectra of these two modes (E and H) were analysed carefully.
