Abstract

We describe the use of a simple spherical aluminum-coated mirror to image the radiation of a distant XUV-emitting plasma in the slit of a vacuum spectrograph. Calculations to determine the optimum position and curvature radius of the mirror as a function of the divergence of the emitted plasma radiation are described, Efficient light collection by the grazing incidence mirror allows calibration of an intensified diode array used as a detector with a low-pressure (10-4 Torr) dc capillary discharge that does not require a complex differential pumping system.
