Photographic Sensitivity Measurements in the Vacuum Ultraviolet

Abstract

Characteristic curves and absolute sensitivity data are presented for Kodak 101-01 film and for Kodak Pathe SC5 and SC7 film in the 735-2804-A wavelength region. Estimates of the detective quantum efficiency (DQE) of these films have been made at 1200 A and 2537 A. The Eberhard effect, reciprocity law failure, and the effect on film sensitivity of evacuation are discussed.
