Abstract
We have developed a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) flash lamp using a binary rare gas mixture excited by a pulsed silent discharge. In a Kr/Xe silent discharge, the VUV emission spectral width was extended up to 26 nm full width at half‐maximum (FWHM) at a center wavelength of 162 nm. According to kinetic analyses, such a spectral extension in mixed rare gases is attributed to the simultaneous emissions from heteronuclear rare gas excimers (KrXe*) and homonuclear rare gas excimers (Kr2* and Xe2*).Keywords
