One of the beamlines to become operational in the first phase at the Canadian Light Source will be dedicated to high resolution spectroscopy in the far infrared (FIR). The beamline includes three ellipsoidal mirrors and several plane mirrors that transport the beam from the bending magnet source to the FIR spectrometer. The F-number of the spectrometer is matched by the beamline optics, which relay the light via intermediate foci rather than by collimation used in mid infrared beamlines. The beamline has been designed using regular ray tracing and by propagating the electric fields generated at the magnet through the beamline optics. The fields were calculated using SRW and the propagations were performed with SRW, which assumes ideal lenses, and with a wave propagating program using the real optical surfaces. The simulations, based on wave propagation, show the significant diffraction effects at both the foci and optical surfaces due to the small electron beam, beamline aperture, and mirrors sizes.
