Jules Z. Klose, George F. Hartig, and William J. Rosenberg, "Characterization of a Pt-Ne hollow cathode spectral line source," Appl. Opt. 29, 2951-2959 (1990)
A source which produces a rather uniform distribution of spectral lines over the wavelength range from 115 to ~350 nm is being investigated as a secondary radiometric standard for use in space. This source is a sealed lamp with a hollow cathode of platinum and a fill gas of neon. A version of this lamp has already been flown in space but only as a wavelength standard. The following properties were studied: warmup time, stability, emission as a function of current, repeatability, spatial characteristics, impurities, angular dependence, long term behavior, and radiance.

Wavelengths < 200 nm are in vacuum, and wavelengths > 200 nm are in air. Wavelengths below 400 nm were obtained from Ref. 8, those for Cr I were taken from Ref. 9, and those for Ne I came from Ref. 10.
