We have applied a new more efficient diagnostic method for studies of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation produced by 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 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 (10.0nm{lt}{lambda}{lt}100.0nm). With this new technique a flux density enhancement of spectral line radiation on the entrance window of the monochromator of about 10 has been achieved over a distance of 60 cm. By further optimizing this method an enhancement of the flux density of EUV radiation of the order of 20 to 30 is expected. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
