We have applied a new, more efficient diagnostic technique for studies of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation from multicharged ions interacting with He gas. Following single and double electron capture and one electron capture plus target-ion excitation in He{sup 2+}+He and Ar{sup 8+}+He collisions, the subsequent emitted EUV photons are analyzed with a high-resolution 2.2 m grazing incidence monochromator in conjunction with a new type of glass capillary converter (GCC) specifically designed for the EUV wavelength region. This new optical device images a horizontal cylindrical ion beam segment onto the vertical entrance slit of the monochromator. With this new imaging technique a spectral intensity enhancement of about 10 has been achieved over a distance of about 60 cm. By further optimizing this method an enhancement of the flux density of EUV radiation of about 20{endash}30 is expected. As prototype examples, new advanced EUV spectra arising from He{sup 2+}+He and Ar{sup 8+}+He collisions are presented and discussed. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
