Abstract
Spectral characteristics of a barrier-discharge plasma produced in atmospheric-pressure mixtures of cadmium diiodide and cadmium dibromide vapors with neon, krypton, and xenon at a repetition rate of sine voltage pulses up to 130 kHz are studied. The emission from the discharge is studied within the spectral range 200–900 nm with a resolution of 0.05 nm. Emission of exciplex molecules CdI(B → X) and CdBr(C, B → X), and cadmium and inert gas atoms is revealed, as well as emission of exciplex molecules XeI(B → X, A) and XeBr(B → X, A) in xenon-containing mixtures. The emission of xenon halides prevails in the spectra at a mixture temperature up to 200°C. With a further temperature increase, the emission of cadmium halides becomes dominating. It is ascertained that the most intense emissions of CdI(B → X) and CdI2/CdBr2/Xe/Kr and CdBr(B → X) molecules are observed, respectively, in CdI2/CdBr2/Xe/Kr and CdI2/CdBr2/Xe mixtures. The cadmium dihalide-inert gas mixtures are of interest for the use as a radiating gas in a multiwavelength and broadband excilamp emitting in the UV and visible spectral ranges.
