The results of an experimental study of hybrid X-pinches (HXPs) as sources of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation within the wavelength range of λ < 2000 Å are presented here. A KING compact low-voltage generator (45 kV, 200 kA, 190 ns) was used to feed the X-pinches. The dynamics of forming the radiating plasma of HXPs of different materials were studied using pinhole cameras with radiation receivers based on microchannel plates with a time resolution of 5 ns and a spatial resolution of 150 µm. The time structure and energy characteristics of the radiation were studied using diamond photoconducting detectors (PCDs). The spectral composition of UV radiation was investigated using a spectrograph based on the transmission grating. It has been shown that the efficiency of conversion of the capacitor-stored energy to the VUV radiation may reach 5%, whereas the fraction of soft X-rays (SXR) with quanta energies above 800 eV is no more than 3%. In this case, the source brightness reaches 2 × 10⁹ W/(sr cm²).
