Abstract
The 5-50-eV spectral range appears to be absent from the planned third generation synchrotron radiation sources (SRS) and the science requiring this radiation can be jeopardized once the second generation SRS light sources are switched off worldwide. Molecular photochemistry, photobiology, atomic physics, solid-state physics are but a few sciences requiring powerful VUV sources. We demonstrate that a compact, laser heated plasma light source can generate efficiently radiation in this spectral region, and that this radiation can be coupled very efficiently from the plasma to the exposure cell, by three simple VUV beam-lines, each providing a different spectral bandwidth.
