Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) excimer lamps emit vacuum-UV optical radiation. This
work presents novel methods for efficiently operating DBDs with short, high-voltage pulses …

This paper reports about emerging techniques for the efficient drive of Dielectric Barrier
Discharge (DBD) plasma light sources in pulsed operation mode. Besides a classification of …

A physically based circuit model for the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) lamp using the
finite-volume method is developed in this paper. This model provides the electrical and …

This work proposes the development of a power supply for Dielectric Barrier Discharge
(DBD) lamps, intended for the evaluation of a water treatment system based on UV radiation …

Dielectric Barrier Discharges (DBD) are a technology that has been developed since the
beginning of the last century and in recent years their applications have spread to various …

A current controlled driver for a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) lamp is proposed in this
paper as opposed to most of the published drivers which are voltage controlled drivers. The …

The objective of this thesis is to develop a controller that can ramp the temperature of a
semiconductor wafer in a controllable fashion. The semiconductor wafers are heated using …
