Rare-earth plasma light source for VUV applications

  • 1. University College, Dublin, Physics Department, Dublin, Ireland

Description

A compact versatile light source for producing VUV radiation from laser produced plasmas is described. Measurements of the spectral irradiance from CO2 laser-produced plasmas on targets of gadolinium and ytterbium in the 155--220-nm range are given, and a comparison is made with analogous results obtaining using a ruby laser
