Abstract
The subject of investigation is the coaxial two-barrier short-pulse excimer lamp based on XeBr* molecules (λ = 282 nm). When the working mixture (Xe: Br2 = 70: 1) is excited by a high-voltage pulsed nanosecond discharge at a pressure of 1 atm, the peak power of the generated radiation is on the order of 100 kW at an FWHM of 4.5 ns. If the gap between the barriers is small, a train of pulses with an FWHM of 20 ns and a repetition rate of 200 kHz may be obtained.
