VUV Radiation and Breakdown
Abstract
Two experimental setups have been used in this work on the effects of vacuum ultraviolet light on surface breakdown. The first experimental setup was designed so that VUV emission from an excited surface flashover event is focused onto the entrance slit of a vacuum spectrograph, with the spark simultaneously being imaged by a fast shutter ICCD on the atmospheric side. The dielectric surface was an MgF2 window and an MgF2 lens was used to focus the light on the spectrometer entrance slit. The second experimental setup used mirrors in place of the MgF2 lens thus increasing the light below 130 nm entering the spectrometer.
