Abstract

Summary form only given. As mercury is a non environmental friendly element, many efforts are made in the field of light sources in order to replace Mercury-based lamps. This contribution deals with the potentialities of Neon Xenon discharges for replacing Mercury ones used in cold hollow cathodes fluorescent tubes. Interest of pulsed excitation (pulse duration: few mus; pulse frequency: few kHz) had been already shown in our previous works in comparison of AC mode. Following parametric studies on pressure (on the range 10 mbar-100 mbar) have shown that a pulsed Ne-Xe discharge at advanced pressure is able to provide close to 50% of illuminance provided by a mercury tube supplied with a 25 mA sinusoidal excitation current. Working times of thousands hours have been reached without significant decreasing of the luminous flux. Spectroscopic analysis and simple computed simulations have improved comprehension of mechanisms leading to the phosphor excitation, and permits to clarify results of parametric studies: in particular, neon partial pressure has been clearly identified as a fundamental parameter which determines the density of ionic excimers (essentially Xe2 +) whose recombination efficiently populates Xe first resonant level during post-discharge period. Its de- excitation to the ground level produces a significant VUV emission (147 nm) able to excite phosphor. As post- discharge emission typically occurs on few hundreds of mus, duty cycle must be adapted to fully recover VUV emission. Ignition processes have also been investigated. Strong influence of the excitation frequency on breakdown has been observed: residual electronic density from previous pulse increases with the frequency. Consequently, ignition in hollow cathode is accelerated and breakdown voltage decreases. Compromise has to be found between pulse frequency and duty cycle in order to have the breakdown voltage as low as possible while fully recovering post- discharge emission.

霓虹灯氙气脉冲放电在宣传和建筑照明方面的潜力
只提供摘要形式。由于汞是一种非环境友好元素,为了取代汞灯,人们在光源领域做出了许多努力。这篇文章讨论了氖氙放电取代冷空心阴极荧光灯管中使用的汞放电的潜力。脉冲激发兴趣(脉冲持续时间:几μ s;脉冲频率:几千赫)在我们以前的工作中已经显示了交流模式的比较。随后的压力参数研究(在10毫巴-100毫巴范围内)表明,在高压力下,脉冲Ne-Xe放电能够提供接近25毫安正弦激励电流汞管提供的50%的照度。在光通量没有明显下降的情况下,工作时间达到了数千小时。光谱分析和简单的计算模拟提高了对导致荧光粉激发的机制的理解,并允许澄清参数研究的结果:特别是,氖分压已被清楚地确定为决定离子准分子(主要是Xe2 +)密度的基本参数,其重组在放电后有效地填充Xe第一共振能级。它的去激发到地面水平产生显著的VUV发射(147 nm),能够激发荧光粉。由于放电后排放通常发生在几百μ m,因此必须调整占空比以完全恢复VUV排放。点火过程也进行了研究。观察到激振频率对击穿的强烈影响:前脉冲的残余电子密度随频率的增加而增加。从而加速了空心阴极的点火,降低了击穿电压。为了使击穿电压尽可能低,同时完全恢复放电后的发射,必须在脉冲频率和占空比之间找到折衷办法。
