Abstract
Planar arrays of 400 mu m diameter discharge devices fabricated on sil icon with an anode-cathode spacing of 1 mm and device separations as s mall as 0.8 mm are reported. Operated in parallel with a single ballas t and specific power loadings in the discharge up to similar to 40 kW- cm(-3), these arrays produce continuous emission from the atomic rare gases and transient molecules such as the rare gas-halide excimer, xen on-monoiodide (XeI).
