A high - current hollow cathode as a source of intense line radiation in the vuv
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vuv line emission of a high-current DC hollow cathode was investigated in the wavelength region 10 nm to 100 nm. Spectra of quadruply ionised atoms could be observed. The radiance in the AI IV lines at 13 nm and 16 nm and in the He I1 Lyman-series was determined by a comparison with the spectral concentration of radiant intensity of the synchrotron radiation emitted by the electron storage ring BESSY. We found the radiance of the lines to be reproducible within 5 2 5 % .

High current hollow cathode as a radiometric transfer standard source for the extreme vacuum ultraviolet.
A high current hollow cathode source has been developed as a radiometric source standard for the extreme VUV. The source is operated at a constant current of 2 A with an aluminum cathode and helium or argon as buffer gas at pressures of ~1 hPa. The radiance of spectral lines in the wavelength range from 13 to 60 nm has been determined by comparison to the calculable spectral radiant power of th...
متن کاملSource Standards for the Radiometric Calibration of Astronomical Instruments in the VUV Spectral Range Traceable to the Primary Standard BESSY
On the basis of a high-current hollow-cathode discharge we have developed two transfer source standards suitable for the radiometric calibration of vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) telescopes. The source standards are transportable and (in their current design) produce collimated beams of 5 mm (grazing-incidence region) and 2.5 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm (normal-incidence region) diameter. By irradiatin...
متن کاملDiagnostics and modeling of plasma processes in ion sources
Plasma ion sources are constantly growing in importance in the field of atomic mass spectrometry. The idea is to deposit enough energy into the analyte to atomize and ionize a representative part of it and to achieve a plasma state that will endure for some period of time. A fraction of the ions can then be extracted from the plasma and analyzed in the mass spectrometer. The main difference amo...
متن کاملHollow Cathode Discharges for Gas Lasers
With the exception of the 632.8 nm neon line all the important visible and ultraviolet cw gas laser lines belong to the spectra of ionized atoms. To achieve proper laser oscillation the excitation of the upper levels of these lines is of primary importance. High energy electrons are needed for this process. As such electrons are in high concentration in the hollow cathode discharge, it was obvi...
متن کاملHigh current electron source for beam neutralization experiments
To investigate the space charge neutralization effects in the extraction gap of a laser ion source (LIS) [1] a high current density electron beam with low energy spread is needed. The transient hollow-cathode discharge (THCD) source [2] has the required characteristics. The THCD is a pulsed hollow-cathode glow discharge that operates at low gas pressure (101 mbar) and high applied voltage. Char...
