Excimer irradiation is strong light energy that is generated when lamps filled with noble gas or noble gas halide compound, are pressured by high-energy electrons.
TECH TALK Ð When high-energy electron pressure is applied from the outside onto a lamp filled with a noble gas or a noble gas halide compound, the lamp releases a discharge plasma (e.g. electric barrier discharge). This discharge plasma consists of high-energy electron and disappears instantly. The discharge plasma does, however, excite the gas atoms inside to instantaneously produce an excimer state (for Xenon excimers: Xe2). When the atoms return from their excited state to their original (ground) state, the excimer-specific spectrum is emitted. This emission light is the VUV or UV-C light caused by excimer irradiation.
