A radiation source has been developed and implemented from Cerenkov emission that is intended to provide an intense continuum from the infrared to 600 A. Parasitic use of the primary electron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) together with a novel optical geometry for light collection can give a focused and tunable ultraviolet beam with 10(4) kW/m(2)sr brightness, 10(-2) spectral purity, and with the pulsed, 5 ps time structure of the SLAC electron beam. Measurements of emission characteristics in the visible part of the spectrum correlate closely with the predicted performance.
