| Sumario: | A systems approach in which computer automation is applied to a vacuum ultraviolet spectrometer and auxiliary components is described. The errors associated with the measurement of gaseous absorption coefficients in the vacuum ultraviolet are considered. The presence of scattered light introduces large errors particularly at those wavelengths where the source used is characterized by low intensity. In the case of a D(2) light source this occurs in the region 120 to 130 nm. Simple considerations explain the variation of the absorption coefficient determinations in the presence of scattered light and lead to an appropriate treatment of the data to eliminate the error. Experimental results are presented illustrating the efficiency and precision obtainable with the present approach. |
