A neon gas target has been developed to produce radioactive fluorine. Small CF{sub 4} impurities were added to the neon gas and the recovery efficiency of {sup 18}F-labeled CF{sub 4} has been measured as a function of the impurity level. Extraction efficiencies up to 90{percent} have been obtained, which makes this technique to produce and extract radioactive fluorine from a production target a powerful method to generate intense radioactive {sup 17}F and {sup 18}F beams, using the {sup 20}Ne(p,{alpha}){sup 17}F and {sup 20}Ne(d,{alpha}){sup 18}F reactions, respectively. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
