We propose a method for producing OH, H, O, O 3, and O 2 (a 1 Δ g) using the vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation of H 2 O and O 2 as a tool for studying the reaction processes of plasma medicine. For photodissociation, an H 2 O/He or O 2/He mixture flowing in a quartz tube is irradiated by a Xe 2 or Kr 2 excimer lamp. The effluent can be applied to a target. Simulations show that the Xe 2 lamp method can produce OH radicals within 0.1–1 ppm in the effluent at 5 mm from a quartz tube nozzle. This is comparable to those produced by a helium atmospheric-pressure plasma jet (He-APPJ) currently used in plasma medicine. The Xe 2 lamp method also produces H atoms of, at most, 6 ppm. In contrast, the maximum O densities produced by the Xe 2 and Kr 2 lamp methods are 0.15 ppm and 2.5 ppm, respectively; these are much lower than those from He-APPJ (several tens of ppm). Both lamp methods can produce ozone at concentrations above 1000 ppm and O 2 (a 1 Δ g) at tens of ppm. The validity of the simulations is verified by measuring the O 3 and OH densities produced by the Xe 2 lamp method using ultraviolet absorption and laser-induced fluorescence. The differences between the measured and simulated densities for O 3 and OH are 20% and factors of 3–4, respectively.
