Abstract

The optical characteristics of a barrier discharge in a mixture of heavy water vapor with argon in the wavelength region 200–315 nm are presented. The dependence of the radiation intensity of the OD (AX) band at λ = 309 nm on the partial pressure of the D2O vapor is studied, the mechanism of hydroxyl formation in the plasma is considered, and optimal compositions of pollution-free and inexpensive mixtures based on Ar-D2O are determined for application in UV lamps, which are promising for use in photomedicine.
