Compact far ultraviolet emission source with rich spectral emission 1150-3100 A.

A new compact far uv emission source suitable for laboratory or space applications is described. The source is small, rugged, lightweight, spectrally rich, and bright in the 1150-3200-A region. It has met rigid spacecraft environmental tests and also is a very useful transfer standard for absolute sensitivity calibrations of spectrometric instruments.
