  • Fluorescent excimer lamps
    Patent number: 8946993
    Abstract: Excimers are formed in a high pressure gas by applying a potential between a first electrode (14, 214) and a counter electrode (25, 226) so as to impose an electric field within the gas, or by introducing high energy electrons into the gas using an electron beam. A phosphor for converting the wavelength of radiation emitted from the formed excimers is disposed within the gas and outside a region (62, 162) where the excimers are expected to be formed, so as to avoid degradation of the phosphor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 15, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 3, 2015
    Assignee: Rutgers, The State University
    Inventors: Daniel E. Murnick, Nazieh Mohammad Masoud, Richard Riman
  • High brightness excimer lamp
    Patent number: 8506342
    Abstract: A high brightness excimer light source has an elongated tube containing an excimer-forming gas and electrodes for exciting the gas to form a plasma, and thus create excimers such as a rare gas halogen excimer or a rare gas excimer. Light emitted from the excimer propagating axially along the tube passes out of the tube through an exit device such as a lens or optical fiber at one or both ends of the tube.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 13, 2013
    Assignee: Rutgers, The State University
    Inventors: Nazieh Mohammad Masoud, Daniel E. Murnick
