The Cerenkov effect is considered as a source for far and vacuum ultraviolet radiation. Power per unit wavelength compares favorably with synchrotron emission, and the radiation is well collimated and confined to a small solid angle. The absence of spectral lines in the emission provides a source that is useful for certain types of spectroscopic studies.
