摘要: A stable discharge between two pin electrodes separated by several hundred micrometres in a high pressure rare gas (~900 mbar) halogen (~1 mbar) mixture is shown to yield continuous wave (CW) ultra violet (UV) and vacuum UV light sources. Lamps operating at 193 (ArF*) 157 nm ( ) have been demonstrated. Total CW output power the was measured be 30 for ArF* 20 mW . The brightness of sources estimated order W cm−2 sr−1. With direct current excitation, electrode lifetimes are limited few minutes due fluorine salt deposits. However, using radio frequency (RF) field drive discharge, lifetime lamps increased hundreds hours. one-dimensional model RF micro-discharge explaining increase presented. technology described can adapted many other wavelengths promises even higher powers future.
