The brief configuration of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb shown in Fig. 3.Clamp plasma discharging space 2 in the excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 1 (being designated hereinafter simply as ' lamp '), the discharge vessel 5 of double as dielectric substance between electrode 3 and electrode 4.In the time will lighting lamp 1, apply to electrode 3 and electrode 4 by electric supply installation 6, for example, the high-frequency ac voltage of 10kHZ~200kHZ, 2kV~10kV.But, be different from common discharge lamp, because of dielectric substance being arranged at 3,4 at electrode, so electric current can be not directly from electrode stream to the plasma discharging space, but play a part capacitor as the discharge vessel 5 of dielectric substance.
Fig. 4 is for being expressed as excited quasi-molecular lampbulb to simulate the figure of load.Plasma discharging space 2 and dielectric substance (quartz glass) become each capacitor that is connected in series, and then, becoming the structure of the voltage stabilizing didoe that is being connected in parallel with plasma discharging space 2 pairing capacitors.
According to such structure, before the voltage stabilizing didoe conducting, the capacitance in plasma discharging space 2 plays a part control, and this electric capacity is charged.Then, when charging reached discharge inception voltage, voltage stabilizing didoe just can conducting and is had electric current to flow through.The electric current that flow through this moment can be suppressed by two electric capacity that are equivalent to dielectric substance, so can be controlled as the excited quasi-molecular lampbulb state, does not allow it be transformed into the state of arc discharge.
Excited quasi-molecular lampbulb just begins to light when reaching discharge inception voltage like this, but this discharge inception voltage roughly determines according to the pressure (P) and the arcing distance (L) in plasma discharging space.At this, the volumes of arcing distance (L) and discharge space etc. are lighted at lamp and are not changed in the process and be certain value and can estimate its value substantially, so it is very big to learn that above-mentioned discharge inception voltage is subjected to based on the influence of the change of the pressure (P) of the variations in temperature in plasma discharging space 2.
In other words, when the temperature in plasma discharging space 2 was high, the molecular weight in the space also can increase, and container internal pressure also can increase, its result, and discharge inception voltage can uprise.
In the middle of common use, the normal temperature state of plasma discharging space before light to the process of the time of lighting with the rising of temperature, so above-mentioned discharge inception voltage also changes thereupon.For this reason,, electric supply installation has been done excessive design, so that can tackle the high discharge inception voltage of expecting in advance in the past.
And then though excited quasi-molecular lampbulb is made of dielectric substances such as quartz glasss, transmission of ultraviolet rays will reduce known this dielectric substance when distorting if exist.In other words,, have and to export desired ultraviolet flux, or the local unbalanced problem on the position such as radiating light flux that reduces takes place because there is distortion in dielectric substance.
Summary of the invention
The problem that the present invention will solve is to keep the discharge inception voltage of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb and time, the locational homogenizing that realizes the radiating light flux consistently.
For addressing the above problem, excimers lamp lighting device of the present invention comprises: excited quasi-molecular lampbulb, the emitting ultraviolet light by the discharge that utilizes dielectric substance; Electric supply installation provides the electric power of regulation for this excited quasi-molecular lampbulb; Temperature adjustment device is used for the temperature of this excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of heating and cooling; And control part, the temperature that is used to detect excited quasi-molecular lampbulb is also kept the target temperature value of regulation simultaneously, it is characterized in that, for the discharge inception voltage that makes aforementioned excited quasi-molecular lampbulb roughly stable, aforementioned electric supply installation by aforementioned control part before light with the temperature constant of aforementioned excited quasi-molecular lampbulb maintain the target temperature that is higher than normal temperature.
According to this structure, excited quasi-molecular lampbulb just can be set the target temperature that is higher than normal temperature before light, and just can start with constant discharge inception voltage from the initial stage of lighting.
In addition, for the stable state ignition phase, can keep the temperature of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb by heater and cooling device consistently, thus with the pairing discharge inception voltage of target temperature be that object carries out circuit design, also just can prevent the excessive design of electric supply installation.
At this, keep the reason that is higher than normal temperature and be, if the temperature in plasma discharging space is low excessively, the hot electron that is present in the plasma discharging space will be lost its motor function, the result causes the cause that can not effectively discharge.In addition, also be because by can reduce the cause of the distortion that exists in the quartz glass that constitutes discharge vessel to heating of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb.
For this target temperature, the temperature of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb is meant the temperature of luminous tube outer surface, is set in 80 ℃~200 ℃ the scope, and is better in 100 ℃~160 ℃ scope.
This is because the temperature of discharge space has difficulty in the measurement as practical problem, so regulation is with the luminous tube material cause that replaces of the hull-skin temperature of quartz glass for example.
And this temperature range has been considered the degree that temperature rises in temperature that hot electron works and the discharge space, also is the temperature range that realistic meaning is arranged most that present inventors draw after through earnest investigation research.
In addition, above-mentioned target temperature be characterized as consistently maintain ± 20 ℃ of scopes in.This is the permission amplitude of temperature of the required control of regulation, also is the number range that draws after present inventors investigate in earnest.
In addition, control part be characterized as along with excited quasi-molecular lampbulb through the time deterioration above-mentioned target temperature is and then changed.Excited quasi-molecular lampbulb enclose by the burn into of discharge vessel (thickness of dielectric substance), electrode the leakage of the gas in the discharge vessel etc. take place through the time deterioration, on this basis, the adjustable settings temperature, make discharge inception voltage not can along with through the time deterioration and changing.
