Overview • Definition Of Acronyms • Types of Plasma Lamps • Improvement of Luminance Efficiency in a Dielectric Barrier • Uses of Plasma Lighting For Decontamination • Improving Luminous Efficiency of Plasma Display Panel • Self Erasing Discharge
Definition Of Acronyms • CCFL – Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp • CW- Continuous Wave • DFL – Discharge Flat Lamp • UV-Ultraviolet
Types of Plasma Lamps • Mercury • Low Pressure Vapor Discharge Lamp • Emits light in UV wavelength range • Low pressure creates “cold plasma” • Much more efficient than filament bulbs • High Pressure • Light emitted in visible light range • Fluorescent coating may be used to adjust color • May not be turned off and on quickly because of pressure changes • Commonly used outside S. Eliezer and Y. Eliezer, The Fourth State of Matter. Bristol: Institute of Physics Publishing, 2001.
Types of Plasma Lamps • Metal Halide (salt) Lamp • Lifetimes of up to 30,000 hours • Offer wide varieties of color • Often used for lighting large areas • Sodium Lamp • Highly efficient • Gives off yellowish light • Argon is used to lower the required discharge voltage • High lamp wall temperatures are required to keep sodium vapor at a high pressure http://www.ushio.com/det_gl_pulsestrike.htm http://www.venturelighting.com/AboutVenture/metal_halide_story.htm
Improvement of Luminance Efficiency in a Dielectric Barrier • Mercury in both hot cathode lamp and CCFL • Household and Industries • Preservation of the Environment • Xenon discharge lamp • Serious disadvantage of low luminance efficiency • Incapability of high luminance in low-pressure (≤760 torr) M.

Plasma Lighting Used to Decontaminate Surfaces • Testing done by University of Missouri-Columbia • UV Light sources were: • 1kW mercury-argon-medium-pressure CW lamp • Pulsed linear xenon lamp • DNA absorption of UV light causes killing effect of UV light. • Spores Vs. Vegetative Cells • Spores are more resilient to biological effects of UV light. • Spores are dormant and only repair UV damage during outgrowth and germination Kenneth F. McDonald, et al. “Comparison of Pulsed and CW Ultraviolet Light Sources to Inactivate Bacterial Spores on Surfaces,” IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science., vol 30, no. 5, October 2002.

Plasma Lighting Used to Decontaminate Surfaces • Results • Pulsed light kills vegetative cells more efficiently • This is attributed to peak power and spectral content • Pulsed xenon flashlamps create larger photon fluxes than medium pressure continuous wave mercury bulbs • No apparent difference in killing of spores Kenneth F.

Improving Luminous Efficiency of Plasma Display Panel • Self-erase discharges into the sustaining period • More efficient state • Emits more visible light Chen, Chern-Lin, and Shin-Tai Lo.

Self Erasing Discharge • Neon has a wavelength of 585 nM • Orange light • Degrades blue and green lights desired from Xenon • Self Erasing Discharge • Created by a ramped-square sustain pulse reported to improve • Luminance • Luminous efficiency Hueng-Sik Tae, et al. “ New Color-Enhancing Discharge Mode Using Self-Erasing Discharge in AC Plasma Display Panel,” IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science,vol.31, no. 2, April 2003.
Self Erasing Discharge • Self Erasing Discharge • Luminous intensity acts differently than discharge intensity • Visible light is induced twice during Self Erasing Discharge • Because of the ramped-square wave there is a longer sustained discharge to emit IR 823nm for a longer time this is shown in figure on following slide Hueng-Sik Tae, et al. “ New Color-Enhancing Discharge Mode Using Self-Erasing Discharge in AC Plasma Display Panel,” IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science,vol.31, no. 2, April 2003.

Self Erasing Discharge • Shown on the left is (a) green and (b) blue emissions with 50-150 kHz wavelengths. On the right shows the increase in (a) green and (b) blue emissions when a ramped square waveform is used at 150 kHz. The right side shows the gain in efficiency of blue and green emissions.
