Abstract

Construction of an EUV (60 –370 Å) space- and time-resolving, grazing incidence spectrograph (STRS) is described. The simultaneous spectral coverage of the instrument ranges from 40 to 75 Å, depending on the wavelength region. The spectral resolution is about 1 Å. The spatial resolution, accomplished by using the pinhole camera effect and the inherent astigmatism of a concave grating in grazing incidence, is about 2 cm, with a total field of view of 60 cm at a distance of 2 m from the plasma. The detector consists of a 75-mm MCP image intensifier optically coupled to three CCD area array detectors. Time resolution of up to 2 ms is achieved with high-speed readout electronics. A PDP 11/73 minicomputer controls the spectrograph and collects and reduces 3.0 Mbyte of data per shot.
