説明

<jats:p>We develop two cascade arc plasma sources for application to plasma windows for virtual vacuum interfaces. For windowless vacuum–atmosphere separation, a compact arc discharge source having a channel diameter of 3 mm is fabricated, and an atmospheric Ar thermal plasma is generated. For an alternative differential pumping system, separating low- and high-pressure vacuum chambers, a larger arc device with an 8-mm diameter is also constructed, producing a high-density He plasma. The performances of the two cascade arcs as plasma windows are investigated. The 3-mm arc discharge generates a steep pressure gradient of Ar 100 kPa–100 Pa through the discharge channel, while the 8-mm discharge apparatus isolates the high-pressure side at 7 kPa from the lower pressure of 54 Pa. Emission spectroscopy of visible and vacuum UV radiation reveals the characteristics of the Ar and He plasmas. Spectral analysis yields a plasma temperature of around 1 eV in both discharges. Stark broadenings of the H-β and Ar I lines give an electron density of 6.5 × 1016 cm−3 for Ar 60 A with a gas flow rate of 1.0 l/min and 4.7 × 1013 cm−3 under a He 100-A and 0.45-l/min condition.</jats:p>
