Abstract
We use a 0.5 m Seya-Namioka monochromator and two gold plated cylindrical mirrors to set up an optical system which produces a collimated beam of plane polarized, monochromatic radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet region. The two mirrors compensate for the astigmatism of the Seya-Namioka monochromator, thereby increasing the spectral resolution drastically. The degree of linear polarization is about 0.97–1.00 in the spectral region of 6–11.5 eV.
