Ultraviolet Generation by Atmospheric Micro-Hollow Cathode Discharges

摘要

Report developed under STTR contract for topic AFO3TOl9. This report documents the program objectives, work performed, results obtained, and future plans for a program to develop micro-hollow cathode discharge (MHCD) vacuum ultraviolet light sources. Significant progress was made in developing processes for fabrication of commercially viable light sources and in demonstrating that sources produced using these processes can operate for periods of time which are long enough to allow them to be used in practical applications.
