Abstract
A new monochromator system has been developed that permits the in situ calibration of its optical components and allows the calibration of a photodiode against a calculable synchrotron radiation source in the s pectral range extending from 116 to 254 nm. The instrument has been op erated at the Spectrometer Calibration Facility (BL-2) of the SURF II electron storage ring located at the National Institute of Standards a nd Technology (NIST). Significant reductions in the uncertainty of far ultraviolet detector calibrations are anticipated due to the use of t his instrument.
