Scientific paper

The article describes a compact hollow Pt cathode emission source for the far UV, developed for use as a high-resolution wavelength standard in laboratory work or on spacecraft (specifically, the NASA International UV Explorer - IUE). The source is small, rugged, lightweight, spectrally rich, bright in the 1150-3200 A region, features long service life, low operating voltage, and lower power drain, and stably emits a large number of very sharp lines with a spectrum lending itself to projection onto the focal plane of a spectrograph. The source has successfully passed exacting environmental tests, and serves as a transfer standard for absolute sensitivity calibration of spectrometric instruments.
