Description

A bipolar pulsed high voltage and high frequency power supply has been developed to excite a dielectric barrier discharge excimer lamp. Voltage and current signals across the 5 mm electrode gap have been measured. Energy through the gas per pulse has been obtained by integrating the power applied. About 300 μJ of energy per pulse is delivered to the gas.
