Zinc halides are considered as a possible candidate for replacement of mercury in high pressure discharge lamps. A crucial precondition for the design and optimisation of such lamps is the detailed and quantitative understanding of the energy balance. In particular, a detailed knowledge of spatial temperature profiles and gradients are of high relevance for the radiation transport properties.
Discharge lamps are studied by means of emission spectroscopy with absolute calibration in the range 200-833 nm. The experimental setup comprises a spectrograph (f=1m) with an attached CCD detector. The temperature profiles across the plasma radius are determined from measured spectral line-shapes of self-reversed lines (see Karabourniotis, J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys., 16, 1267-81 (1983)). The derived temperatures and calculated densities of plasma species serve as input parameters for the solution of the radiation transfer equation. Simulated emission spectra are compared with experimental data in order to determine the line broadening parameters (resonance, v. d. Waals and Stark broadening). Good agreement of calculated and measured radiances is obtained.
