“…Excimer formation in DBDs, originally proposed for use in high-power ultraviolet lamps by Eliasson and Kogelschatz [1], has become a subject of great technical importance, for a A variety of applications in environmental and materials processing, such as UV biological sterilization, photochemical surface treatment, pollution control, plasma display panels, ozone generation, microlithography, photolytic vapor deposition and material deposition in microelectronics [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. It has been investigated using many different excited species, including rare gas excimers, molecular rare gas-halide excimers, and halogen dimers [1,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. In particularly, excimer and exciplex lamps are predestined for the lighting industry with a long lifetime (up to 4,000 h), as the current is limited by the dielectric and the working mixture does not have a contact with metal electrodes which avoids any reaction between the discharge and the electrodes or contamination of the gas with evaporated electrode material [2,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”
