Studies on Laser Generated Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation and Spectroscopic Investigations of Light Elements in Laser-Produced Plasmas
A system for generating and detecting laser-produced radiation in the wavelength region below 200 nm has been constructed. The generation techniques are mainly based on nonlinear frequency mixing processes in gaseous media. Other techniques for the production of vacuum ultraviolet radiation, for instance the use of a laser-produced plasma, are briefly discussed. Laser-produced plasmas have also be
