Infrared synchrotron radiation instrumentation and applications
Infrared synchrotron radiation (IRSR) in the wavelength range from 1{mu}m to {approximately}1cm has now been used quite extensively both in Japan at UVSOR, Okasaki and in the United States at the NSLS, Brookhaven. The use of IRSR poses many new challenges, none the least of which is the fact that the radiation covers four decades of energy and is also very divergent and subject to diffraction. However the advantages are particularly significant due to the 1000 fold increase in brightness available over conventional sources in a region where detectors become a limiting factor. In addition, IRSR is also highly spatially coherent allowing the possibility of a new class of interferometers based on wavefront division. We will discuss this and other instrument issues as they critically relate to experiments. The applications discussed will be in the areas of surface vibrational spectroscopy, both in ultra-high vacuum and in electro-chemical cells, and in areas which use the pulsed nature of the source both for fast response studies and for pump-probe studies. 8 refs., 8 figs.
