Abstract

The design of a focusing cam suitable for use in McPherson-type normal incidence VUV scanning monochromators is described. An approximate analytic procedure is given which enables the rapid calculation of cam shape to a sufficient accuracy to maintain an accurate focus over the operational wavelength range of such monochromators.
