Abstract
Optical mixing in vapours has been used to produce intense, spectrally narrow, coherent radiation in the VUV. Atomic and molecular vapours have been used to generate light to wavelengths as short as 38 nm and continuously over the region from 130-200 nm. A review of the various methods of nonlinear VUV generation will be presented, with emphasis on the use of resonant enhancement to increase the response of the nonlinear medium to the input radiation
