title: Radiometric comparison of a laser-produced plasma and a BRV-source plasma at normal incidence.
abstract: A comparison of radiometric properties, e.g., time structure, source size, reproducibility, and time-integrated relative spectral radiance of a laser-produced plasma and a BRV-source plasma, is described. At normal incidence the laser-produced plasma proved superior to the BRV-source plasma in every aspect concerning its use as a radiometric transfer standard. Reproducibility in spectral radiance within 5% from shot to shot has been achieved with the laser-produced plasma.
