Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an excimer lamp for forming a reflection film in a discharge vessel. In particular, an excimer lamp for forming a lighting port for light monitoring with respect to the reflection film. [Prior Art] Conventionally, as the excimer lamp, a portion formed by a fine particle of a ruthenium oxide body which reflects ultraviolet light is formed in a portion other than the light emitting surface of the inner surface of the discharge vessel. In such a lamp, in order to achieve the original function of extracting light on the outer surface of the light-emitting surface of the discharge vessel, for example, a translucent electrode in which a gold gel is applied in a lattice-like mesh shape is used. On the other hand, the external electrode formed on the outer surface of the non-light-emitting surface that does not extract light on the light-emitting surface does not need to have translucency as a function. However, in many cases, the manufacturing process is simple. From the viewpoint of the stability of the discharge generated in the discharge vessel and the like, the light-transmitting electrode is directly used in the same manner as the light-emitting surface. However, in the excimer lamp of various ultraviolet light irradiation devices, the amount of ultraviolet light is monitored according to the stable emission of the required ultraviolet light, and for this purpose, a portion of the reflective film is formed to form a lighting port, and the monitoring is taken out from the lighting port. Ultraviolet light. Such a technique is known, for example, from Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-202. This prior art is disclosed in Figures 7, 8 and 9. Figure 7 is a plan view of a lamp -5 - 201248680 lamp. Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A - A of Figure 7, and Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B - B of Figure 7. In the figure, the excimer lamp 20 has a discharge vessel 21 made of quartz glass or the like. The light-transmitting external electrodes 22 and 23 are formed opposite to each other on the outer surface of the discharge vessel 21 by forming the metal paste or the like into a mesh shape. Then, on the inner surface of the discharge vessel 21, a reflection film 24 is formed in addition to the light emission surface. A portion of the reflective film 24 forms a lighting opening 25, and an optical monitor 26 is disposed above it to monitor the ultraviolet light radiated from the discharge vessel 21. Further, in this prior example, a flat coated electrode 27 is formed at the end of the external electrodes 22, 23, and a conductor 28 as a starting auxiliary electrode is formed in the discharge vessel 21. However, in the prior art, since the outline 25a of the lighting opening 25 formed in the reflective film 24 is formed to continuously overlap the linear line 23a of the mesh-shaped translucent electrode 23 in a straight line, in the pair of external electrodes 22, 23 When a voltage is applied between them, as shown in Fig. 10, in the inside of the discharge vessel 21, the electric field is easily concentrated on the edge portion 24a of the reflection film 24 which forms the outline 25a of the lighting opening 25, and the discharge X is easily concentrated on the edge portion 24a. For this reason, the discharge between the external electrodes 22 and 23 becomes unstable, and when the light amount of the ultraviolet light taken out from the lighting port 25 is detected by the optical monitor, the detected signal 产生 generates a plurality of peaks and becomes noise. There is a problem that monitoring of ultraviolet light that cannot be determined. Further, since the discharge is concentrated on the edge portion 24a of the reflection film 24, discharge is less likely to occur in the vicinity of the center of the lighting port 25, and even if discharge occurs, the discharge becomes significantly weak. For this reason, the light of the ultraviolet light taken out from the lighting port 25 -6-201248680 is reduced, and the problem of the amount of light detected by the optical monitor is underestimated. [PRIOR ART DOCUMENT] [Patent Document 1] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. JP-A No. 20 1 0-22 5343 SUMMARY OF INVENTION [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been invented in view of the above problems of the prior art. A pair of mesh-shaped translucent external electrodes are disposed on the outer surface of the discharge vessel, a reflective film is formed on the inner surface of the discharge vessel, and an excimer lamp for forming a light-collecting port for light monitoring is formed in the reflective film. Providing a structure in which the discharge portion of the reflection film forming the outline of the lighting port is prevented from being concentrated, a stable discharge is maintained in the discharge vessel, and the amount of the ultraviolet light from the lighting port is not reduced. [Means for Solving the Problem] In view of the problems of the prior art described above, in the present invention, the outline of the lighting port for the optical monitor formed in the reflection film provided in the discharge vessel is provided in the discharge vessel The plain lines of the mesh-like translucent electrodes on the outer surface do not overlap linearly. [Effects of the Invention] By adopting such a configuration, the discharge does not concentrate on the edge portion of the reflective film forming the outline of the lighting opening, and the same discharge is generated on the entire surface of the lighting opening, 201248680 The amount of the ultraviolet light from the lighting opening It will not be reduced, and a normal light monitor can be achieved. [Embodiment] Fig. 1 is a plan view showing a first embodiment of an excimer lamp according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of Fig. 2, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion of Fig. 2. In the figure, the outer surfaces of the discharge vessel 2 of the excimer lamp 1 are provided with translucent electrodes 3 and 4 which are formed in a mesh shape in which gold paste is applied in a lattice shape. Then, on the inner surface of the discharge vessel 2, a reflective film 5 is formed in addition to the light radiating surface 2a. Then, at one end of the non-light emitting surface 2b of the reflecting film 5 opposite to the light exit surface 2a, a lighting opening 6 for the optical monitor is formed. As shown, the lighting port 6 may have a shape in which the end portion of the reflecting film 5 is open, and may be opened as an independent opening. Then, particularly from FIG. 3, the outline 6a of the lighting port 6 is associated with The plain line 4a of the mesh-shaped translucent electrode 4 is not shifted in such a manner that the linear lines are continuously overlapped. In order to realize that the outline 6a of the lighting port 6 and the plain line 4a of the external electrode 4 are not linearly continuous, as shown in FIG. *, the shape of the outline 6a of the lighting opening 6 is a non-linear type, for example, a semicircular shape. Alternatively, or as shown in FIG. 5, the prime wire 4a of the external electrode 4 may be formed to have an angle with respect to the axis of the discharge vessel 2. Further, in the foregoing embodiment, the flat-coated electrode 7 is applied to the ends of the external electrodes 3, 4, and the starting surface of the discharge vessel 2-8-201248680 corresponding to the end thereof is formed to start the auxiliary. The electrode 8 is, however, it is not necessary to provide such a setting. Experiments were conducted in order to confirm the effects of the present invention. <Lamp of the present invention> As the lamp of the present invention, the xenon gas of 〇.〇5 MPa is sealed in the discharge space using the luminous length of 1 540 mm as shown in Fig. 1, and the lighting port 6 is slightly rectangular, and The outline 6a and the plain line 4a of the external electrode 4 do not overlap linearly. <Lamp of Comparative Example> As a lamp of a comparative example, as shown in Fig. 7, a structure in which the outline 25a of the lighting port 25 and the plain line 23a of the external electrode 23 are linearly overlapped is prepared. The lamps were turned on at a lighting frequency of 50 kHz and an input power of 300 watts. Next, the result of measuring the amount of ultraviolet light of each lamp is disclosed in Fig. 6. In the figure, the vertical axis represents the signal 値 of the amount of ultraviolet light, and the horizontal axis represents time. In the lamp of the comparative example, the measurement of the optical monitor was low, and a number of peaks were generated in the time, and the discharge was unstable, and the discharge was concentrated on the edge portion of the reflective film. On the other hand, in the lamp of the present invention, the signal 表示 indicating the amount of light is stably not lowered. As described above, in the present invention, since the outline of the lighting opening formed in the reflecting film provided on the inner surface of the discharge vessel and the outer surface of the mesh-like external electrode are not linearly continuous, the discharge is performed. It does not concentrate on the edge portion of the reflective film forming the lighting opening, and can achieve stable discharge in the discharge vessel, and can exert a uniform discharge even on the entire surface of the lighting opening, and can perform the effect of monitoring the correct ultraviolet light. Further, in the description of the above embodiment, the discharge vessel 2 has been described as an angular tube shape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various shapes such as a circular tube shape may be employed.
