Mercury-Free Xe Discharge LCD Backlightings

Ar+ and Xe+ velocities near the presheath-sheath boundary in an Ar/Xe discharge.

The velocities of Ar+ and Xe+ ions near the presheath-sheath boundary in an Ar/Xe discharge are studied by particle-in-cell Monte Carlo simulation. For a pure argon discharge the argon ion has almost the same velocity profile as it does in the mixture of argon and xenon. Similarly, for a xenon discharge the xenon ion has almost the same velocity profile as it does in the mixture of argon and xe...

Pixnet: Designing Interference-free Wireless Links using LCD-Camera Pairs

Given the abundance of cameras and LCDs in today's environment, there exists an untapped opportunity for using these devices for communication. Specifically, cameras can tune to nearby LCDs and use them for network access. The key feature of these LCD-camera links is that they are highly directional and hence enable a form of interference-free wireless communication. This makes them an attracti...

Effect of He/Ne/Ar on EUV emission and Xe plasma pumped by capillary discharge

The influence of the He, Ne and Ar on Xe plasma pumped by capillary discharge process is studied theoretically and experimentally. The charge-state populations and average ionization of Xe as a function of electron temperature for pure Xe and mixed gases are calculated with a collision-radiation model. The emission of Xe 4d-4d5p 13.5 nm in 2% bandwidth is obtained by a EUV emission monitor (E-M...
