description

Radial emission properties of high-frequency electrodeless discharge lamps (HFEDLs) in argon–mercury mixtures are investigated both numerically and experimentally. The radial profile of the intensities of the mercury triplet lines 404.7, 435.8 and 546.1 nm are measured for two different values of the high frequency generator power. A model describing physical processes in an HFEDL, including the calculation of radial plasma parameters, is developed. Radial intensity dependences of the lines 404.7, 435.8 and 546.1 nm are calculated and are found to be in good agreement with the experimental measurements.
