A highly stable source of spectral lines

In spectroscopy, hollow cathode lamps are subject to increased requirements on radiation parameters. In order to perform verification of such lamps a highly stable source of spectral lines is needed, the intensity of which on the spectral lines will remain unchanged ($\le$ 1%) for a long time. A solution to this problem is proposed and a scheme of an experimental bench for a hollow cathode lamp with a negative feedback loop is presented. The developed device is used in control circuit, which is a highly stable source of spectral lines and a specialized power supply unit. The results of the experimental study along with metrological analysis are presented. The proposed technical solution in terms of developing a stable source of spectral lines made it possible to obtain a high level of both short-term and long-term stability of the spectral lines.
