| Abstract: | An investigation was made into the characteristics of XeCl (5~308 nm), KrCl (5~222 nm) and XeI (5~253 nm)capacitive HF discharge and glow discharge excilamps. High fluorescence efficiency of the exciplex molecules has been obtained from excilamps with simple design under capacitive HF discharge excitation. A fluorescence efficiency with respect to the electrical power deposition of up to ~12% has been measured. The study of XeCl, KrCl and XeI excilamps has shown that it is possible to create sealed-off excilamps with gas mixture lifetimes of over 1000 hours. |
