Abstract: A light source, with electrodes of alternating polarity attached to a substrate in an excimer ultraviolet (UV) lamp, for generating a plasma discharge between each of the electrodes. The shape of the substrate can shape and control the plasma discharge to reduce exposure of materials susceptible to attack by the halogens. The electrodes can be located such that the plasma discharge occurs in a region where it produces less contact of the halogens with the vulnerable areas of the lamp enclosure. The materials, such as the electrodes, substrate, and envelope, can be selected to withstand corrosive materials. In another embodiment, a plurality of sealed tubes, at least some of which contain an excimer gas are positioned between two electrodes.

Abstract translation: 光源，其具有交替极性的电极，附着于准分子紫外（UV）灯中的衬底，用于在每个电极之间产生等离子体放电。 基板的形状可以形成和控制等离子体放电，以减少容易被卤素攻击的材料的暴露。 电极可以被定位成使得等离子体放电发生在其中卤素与灯罩的易损区域的接触较少的区域中。 可以选择诸如电极，基底和外壳的材料来承受腐蚀性材料。 在另一个实施例中，多个密封管（其至少一些含有准分子气体）位于两个电极之间。
