| Abstract | Within the plasma of high-pressure $Xe_{2}*$ excimer lamps, measurements of the intrinsic efficiency for the conversion of electrical input power into lambda~172nm output are notoriously difficult to undertake experimentally. In particular, the spatially integrated VUV output is difficult to determine with reasonable accuracy. Direct measurements of the far-field VUV irradiance from the lamp require either evacuated or inert-gas filled photon propagation paths to prevent photo- absorption by $O_{2}$ that occurs for lambda< $190nm^{1}.$ However, by using controlled flows of pure oxygen through an external cell surrounding the lamp, the total VUV output power may be measured by means of $O_{2}$ actinometry. In this paper, a medium-scale Xenon excimer lamp was fabricated using Suprasil 310 fused-silica tubing fitted with VUV transmitting fine metal mesh electrodes to allow the VUV photons to exit the plasma region with minimal attenuation. The performance of the Xenon excimer lamp was investigated using electrical excitation from custom-built high-voltage pulsed power supplies with fast pulse slew rates (<1mus) and at elevated pulse repetition frequencies (3-30kHz). The results obtained for a range of operating conditions (Xe pressure, pulse voltage amplitude, pulse frequency) clearly demonstrate that even in pulsed operation, the lamp can operate in two distinct modes of efficiency with well-defined transition or switching points. Analysis of the measured Ozone production rates from VUV photolysis indicate the highest intrinsic efficiency for VUV production within the plasma was 38% (Xe = 225 mb, pulse rate = 2.77kHz for input power loadings 5-10 W). This compares with ~60% reported by Hitzschke and 56% - 62% from detailed modelling of the discharge kinetics in $Xe_{2}*$ excimer lamps3. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
