Abstract
A source of UV radiation based on the B → X transition in the XeCl exciplex molecule entering into a Xe-KCl vapor-gas mixture is created. The emission properties of the excilamp (power, spectral composition, and time characteristics) are studied. Optimal conditions for excitation of the excilamp by a high-voltage pulsed-periodic discharge are found. The mean output and the efficiency of the excilamp are one order of magnitude higher than those of a Xe-NaCl lamp. The parameters of both radiation sources are analyzed in terms of the pumping efficiency.
