Abstract
In order to determine the basic processes in an AC-PDP micro-cell discharge, the spatio-temporal characterization of different emission lines has been measured. Multiple lines from XeI, HeI and XeII were detected in He-Xe gas mixtures of various gas pressure and composition. The results show some strong correlation between the different emission lines above cathode and a possible explanation of the kinetics involved is proposed. The data issued from this set of measurements might stand for a very useful tool of PDP discharge modeling.
