Abstract
A continuous emission light source has been devised making use of the xenon continuum from 1500A-2250A recently reported by Y. Tanaka and M. Zelikoff (Bull. Am. Phys. Soc. 28 No. 6, 29 (1953)). The lamp is of pyrex with a fluorite window, is charged with 50 to 350 mm of xenon and powered with microwave energy at 2450 mc and 100 watts. The source has proved useful for absorption studies in the first order of a 21-foot vacuum grating spectrograph.
