Pho<strong>to</strong>n Emission dur<strong>in</strong>g Breakdown<br />

Avalanches produce a lot <strong>of</strong> pho<strong>to</strong>ns,<br />

emission processes are be<strong>in</strong>g debated<br />

Pho<strong>to</strong>ns <strong>in</strong> a very narrow energy<br />

range propagate out <strong>of</strong> their<br />

neighbor<strong>in</strong>g if<br />

Pho<strong>to</strong>n energy is between 1.1 eV <strong>and</strong> 1.4 eV<br />

Pho<strong>to</strong>n <strong>in</strong>tensity: 3x10 -5 pho<strong>to</strong>ns per<br />
