Abstract

This chapter focuses on the information a researcher needs to house an experiment to take advantage of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation. VUV radiation does not propagate through air, and must be transported and used in a vacuum environment. Chambers to house VUV experiments fall into three main categories depending on their use: gas phase experiments including metal vapors, solid-state experiments, and beamline optics. Gas phase typically uses a beam or jet of the gas under investigation to increase the number density of the atoms or molecules in the localized region where the interaction with the VUV light takes place. The configuration consists of the gas jet along one axis with the light beam at right angles and the analyzer making the measurement along the third axis.
