Abstract
We have developed a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lamp at 134 nm with a quasi-point emission geometry using a quasi-continuous-wave (cw) gas jet discharge of an Ar/Kr gas mixture. We have unambiguously identified a new emission continuum centered at 134 nm as a transition of Ar-Kr hetero-nuclear excimers (ArKr*). The VUV emission power of the 134 nm continuum was 10 mW at 21 atm of the total Ar/Kr stagnation gas pressure, at a Kr concentration of 0.1%. Characteristic energy transfer between atoms and dimers plays an important role for the efficient production of ArKr* in such a gas jet discharge.
