UV light source
VG Scienta
The VUV5000 UV source is the most intense He-light source on the market. At the same time, it has the narrowest line width. The photon source is based on a He plasma, generated with the ECR (Electron Cyclotron Resonance)
The VUV5000 UV source includes the following components:
VG SCIENTA VUV5000 UV Source
This is a very high intensity, narrow bandwidth He radiation source with a total VUV flux of more than 2 x 1016 photons/sr s. It includes the VUV5050 source head and the VUV5011 microwave generator. The microwave guide components are also included. The VUV5000 UV-source is optimized for use with the VUV5040 monochromator, but it may also be used stand alone with a capillary VUV light guide to the sample.
Emitted radiation using Helium gas with >99.999% purity:
- 304 Å (41.8135 eV), FWHM 10 %)
- 537 Å (23.08 eV), FWHM < 1.2 meV (~ 8 %)
- 584 Å (21.2182 eV), FWHM < 1.2 meV (~ 82 %)
Guarantee: The VUV5000 UV-source produces 2.0 microA using a 2.8 mm I.D. capillary, -15 V bias and Al photocathode.
