Abstract

We have developed a modified Penning discharge lamp for use in the soft x-ray and extreme uv spectral regions. The source produces a number of intense lines in the 50–300-Å range and can be operated for substantial periods of time at high output levels before refurbishment is required. Refurbishment of this source, when required, is very easily effected.
