Abstract

The authors describe improvements to a Ballofet-Romand-Vodar continuum source, viz., accurate synchronization of the main spark, better cooling of the anode. High resolution absorption spectra with a 10-m concave grating spectrograph are shown as examples of the performance thus obtained.
