A 1-kW/cm2 flash KrCl excimer lamp

XeCl-, KrCl-, XeBr- and KrBr-excilamps of the barrier discharge with the nanosecond pulse duration of radiation

“…Our investigations show that the highest values of the output pulse power can be achieved at maximum voltages applied to the barrier and at maximum currents of the discharge. This fact was checked, in particular, using the one-barrier excilamp, driven by the combined Fitch circuit [15]. The operation of the Fitch circuit is shown in figure 3.…”

“…Two designs of excilamps were used in experiments. The schematic diagram of the radiator of the one-barrier KrClexcilamp is shown in figure 1(a) [15]. The discharge ignites in the gap between the inner high-voltage electrode (1) and a dielectric barrier (ceramic, ε∼1000), constructed as a tube with an internal diameter of 7.8 cm.…”

Radiant characteristics of high power excilamps with binary exciplexes of XeCl and XeBr

“…As a form of high-power spontaneous emission ultraviolet (UV) lamps, the excilamps that can emit relatively narrow bands of UV and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) characterizing excimer and exciplex molecules, have garnered a great deal of attention with respect to their mechanisms [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and applications [2][3][4][14][15][16][17][18]. Typical excimers include rare gas molecules (eg.…”

“…2 ) [19][20][21] and halogen molecules (eg. Br * 2 , Cl * 2 , I * 2 ) [2,9,21,22], while exciplex refers to the rare gas halide molecules (RgX * , where Rg = Ar, Kr, Xe, and X = F, Cl, Br, I) [1, 2, 7-13, 21, 23-32] and mercury halide (HgX * ) [21,33,34].…”
