Zusammenfassung: | The theoretical formulation given in this article allows the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) production efficiency to be calculated from the electron temperature of the plasma and the gas parameters including gas mixing ratio, excitation energies, and excitation cross sections using the separately determined conversion efficiency of the plasma input power into the electron heating power. The VUV production efficiencies calculated for (Ne+Xe) mixture (neon (Ne) and xenon (Xe) mixture) discharge gases using the formulation show that the efficiency can be increased by decreasing the electron temperature and by increasing the amount of Xe in the gas mixture. A method for determining the electron temperature of the plasma display panel (PDP) plasma from emission intensity measurements was also given, and was used to show that the electron temperature in the ordinary PDP plasma is 3 eV. |
