Popis: The design, fabrication techniques, and performance parameters are presented for a light pulser consisting of radioactive 207Bi embedded in capsulses of various types of plastic scintillator material. A typical resolution of 16% (fwhm) for the 0.974 MeV conversion electron line was obtained. A method whereby the contribution to the resolution due to photoelectron statistics can be separated from the total measured resolution is described. An application of these pulsers to the stabilization of an array of 60 lead glass counters is described.
