OATAO is an open access repository that collects the work of Toulouse researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. Abstract-Three different electrical generators have been designed and used to supply an exciplex dielectric barrier discharge lamp in order to elucidate the influence of each one of these supplying strategies over the system performance; the first method consists on supplying the lamp with short bipolar voltage pulses; the second and third methods are based on semiresonant converters were current pulses, of controlled duration and magnitude, are injected into the lamp. For each one of the generators, measurements of the lamp and supply efficiency, are performed and analyzed, at different levels of power (up to 130 W) and operating frequencies (60-90 kHz). From the experimental results, the pulsed voltage-mode approach has allowed obtaining the highest lamp efficiency (7%), yet the maximum supply efficiency is offered by the resonant mode supplies. On the basis of the lamp and the supply efficiencies, the whole system performance is analyzed.Index Terms-Dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD), exciplex lamp, pulsed voltage, resonant converter, ultraviolet.

“…The capacitive character of the DBDs requires supplying these setups using an alternative source. Early DBD experiments used sinusoidal voltage sources in frequencies ranging from tens of hertz to tens of megahertz [1], and later pulsed voltage sources [2] and voltage-mode resonant converters [5,6]. All these solutions suffer from a reduced ability to predict and control the injected power.…”

At low pressure, cold plasmas are used for a wide range of applications such as coating, flow control, or microelectronics. Currently, this industry requires expensive vacuum systems which consume energy and time, and therefore it is very appealing to develop similar processes at atmospheric pressure. Under this condition, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is one of the best ways to obtain a cold plasma. The dielectric barriers naturally limit the current, and then the plasma temperature. Unfortunately, at atmospheric pressure the discharge ignition between the electrodes requires high voltage, which is generally obtained through a step-up transformer. The parasitic elements of this device exclude a smart control for the discharge. In order to overcome this default, we analyze the performance of a transformerless power supply developed with a recently released single-chip high-voltage semiconductor. The circuit uses only two high-voltage switches synthesized by means of the 10 kV SiC MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor). The design and implementation of the electric converter are presented and validated with experiments carried out on UV excimer DBD lamps. Then, the performances of the 10 kV SiC switches are analyzed and the relevance of this device for DBD applications is discussed.

“…Among the possible topologies for the supply of DBD devices, resonant topologies offer less switching losses, less EMI, and a smaller number of switching devices than the others [11]. The voltage-mode resonant topologies proposed in [4] and [6] for DBD lamp and exhaust gas treatment, respectively, are, in our opinion, not the best choice to an efficient control of the operating point of DBD excilamps, as explained in Section II. In [7] and [12], current-mode resonant converters are developed specifically for excimer lamps.…”

This paper presents the study of a series-resonant inverter for the supply of a dielectric barrier discharge excimer lamp. Causal analysis, based on the fundamental properties of the load, is used to detail the reasoning which has led to this topology. In order to effectively control the lamp power, the operating mode of this converter combines discontinuous current mode and soft commutation (zero-current switching), obtaining low electromagnetic emissions and reduced switching losses as well. The model of the lamp is briefly presented, and it allows a simple state plane analysis to calculate all the electric variables involved in the converter and, consequently, to select the components of the supply. The mathematical relationships obtained from this process, for injected power control by means of the available degrees of freedom, are validated with simulations and experimental results. Index Terms-Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), gas discharge devices, plasma sources, resonant inverter, ultraviolet (UV) sources, zero-current switching (ZCS).
