An indigenously developed high-resolution vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectrometer has recently been commissioned at the INDUS-1 Synchrotron Source, Indore, India for carrying out spectroscopic research of atomic and molecular gases. The spectrometer uses a 6.65-meter concave grating in off-plane Eagle mounting and a photomultiplier tube (PMT) for recording the intensity profile of various spectral lines. Experimental performance of the spectrometer has been tested using laboratory sources and 1200 grooves/mm and 4800 grooves/mm concave gratings. Wavelength resolutions of 0.08 Aa and 0.01 Aa have been achieved when 1200 grooves/mm and 4800 grooves/mm concave gratings have been mounted successfully in the spectrometer. The instrument has been integrated with the high resolution VUV beamline at INDUS-1 and its performance is being evaluated with synchrotron radiation.
