  • 4-Instruments for the Extreme Ultraviolet
    4-instruments for the extreme ultraviolet Four instrument systems developed specifically for analytical and diagnostic spectral metrology of soft x-ray and ultrafast extreme ultraviolet photon sources and laser systems. These spectrometer instruments can make optical measurements from 0.5 to more than 500 nanometers. Working in the UV? McPherson has it covered. McPherson makes spectrometers proven to work at the shortest optical wavelengths. From wavelengths less than one nanometer, up to the visible light range, our analytical and diagnostic instruments fit to your application. They work in high harmonic generation (HHG) laser diagnostics. They work in advanced semiconductor extreme UV metrology and analytics. They work in high temperature soft x-ray plasma physics diagnostics. All are available for ultra high (UHV) or high-vacuum applications. McPherson manufactures numerous spectrometer models and optical designs. Here are those with staying power popular across many spectroscopy disciplines. 1. For measuring low energy deep-UV wavelengths (50-500nm) there is the Model 234/302. It’s a great instrument to transition from ultraviolet to wavelengths as short as 30 nanometers. Works equally well in scanning applications as with direct detection CCD for rapid collection of diagnostic spectra. If you need finer spectral resolution, consider Model 235 or Model 225 for the same wavelength range. 2. Do you need analysis and diagnostics with high energy spectra (1-300nm)? Then the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) Model 248/310 fits the bill. It works with point detectors or as a scanning monochromator using concave spherical gratings. The slit or detectors scan along the Rowland circle. It works with direct- detection CCD, MCP intensifier, and when integrated with a spectral lamp, makes a tunable light source.

  • Thomas Pütterich Investigations on Spectroscopic Diagnostic
    Thomas Pütterich Investigations on Spectroscopic Diagnostic of High-Z Elements in Fusion Plasmas IPP 10/29 April 2006 Abstract Nuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium relies on the accomplishment of plasma temperatures in the range of 20 keV. In magnetic confinement fusion, the heat transport and radiation losses are compensated by plasma heating. This scheme relies on the control of the loss mechanisms and in particular the plasma radiation. Tungsten (W) is the main candidate for the first wall of a reactor due to its robustness against physical sputtering by the plasma ions, however, 4 when W reaches concentrations of 10− in the plasma, it causes unduly large plasma cooling by radiation. This implies restrictive impurity control for W, which needs reliable diagnostic by plasma spectroscopy. A pre-requisite for interpretation of the W-spectra is the availability of atomic data for W. The most intense spectral lines of highly ionized W are emitted in the VUV and soft X-ray range. To perform calculations on atomic data the code packages incorporated in the ADAS project are used. The electronic structure of nearly all W-ions is calculated by the Cowan-code (Hartree-Fock algorithm). In a second step, the cross sections for electron impact excitation are evaluated via the Cowan-code using the plane wave Born-approximation. A detailed collisional-radiative model is employed to calculate the model-spectra for each ion in equilibrium. Finally, ionization and recombination rates of W are evaluated by semi-empirical formulae, which make use of the electronic structure calculations of the Cowan-code.
