15 Typical spectral range covered for a 9 shifts run period (72 hours) : ~ 300000 cm -1 @ 0.2 cm -1

16 Future developments : Discharge cell (DC, RF, flow tube…) to produce transient species (radicals, highly ionized species) Developments on the molecular jet chamber On the long term : connect a VUV emission source (but spectral luminance ?) A unique tool for ultra–high resolution absorption spectroscopy in the VUV range : High spectral resolution (  = 0.08 cm -1 ) Broad spectral range covered (300-50nm) Absolute line position (~ 1.5 10 -7 ) High efficiency : Rare gases, diatomic molecules but not only : CO 2,H 2 O,C 2 H 2,NH 3,C 2 H 4 etc….
