ABSTRACT:
In addition to the apparatus disclosed in the prior patent applications of which this application is a continuation-in-part, a reaction chamber is provided with mercury vapor quartz discharge lamps. In close proximity to the lamps are spheres, or thin continuous wires, or filaments or other physical configurations of laser-type material which produce relatively coherentradiation in a manner similar to lasers. The spheres or filaments include concentric partially reflective surfaces, and include an active material which is pumped by the efficient spectral radiation of the mercury vapor, and radiates at a frequency or frequencies matched to the absorption characteristics of the feedstock being fed through the reaction chamber. The laser-type material may be operated to produce output radiation at a harmonic, such as the second, third, fourth or higher harmonic of the basic laser radiation, and these harmonic output radiations may be enhanced by using semi-reflective coatings which reflect in the order of 70% to 90% of the radiation, particularly in the case of spheres. High energy content ultraviolet radiation may also be generated by the "beating" of radiant energy from the mercury vapor tubes and the laser-type material. Efficiency is enhanced by chain reactions which occur with the feedstock materials being fed to the reaction chamber, and these chain reactions involve the generation and regeneration of excited atoms of oxygen or other substances.
