| Abstract: | The design and the commissioning results of a portable and compact spectrometer for the high harmonics content characterization of the extreme‐ultraviolet radiation of FLASH (free‐electron laser in DESY, Hamburg, Germany) are presented. The instrument is a grazing‐incidence flat‐field spectrometer equipped with two variable‐line‐spaced gratings; it covers the 2–40 nm wavelength region with a spectral resolution in the 0.1–0.2% range. Both spectral and intensity fluctuations of the fundamental emission and the harmonics are monitored. |
