OPTICS - X05DA and Metrology Laboratory

Beamline X05DA

The mission of the Optics Test Beamline at the bending magnet X05DA is optics and instrumentation related R & D, in-house research and training. The main performance parameters of the Si(111) cannel-cut monochromator with toroidal focusing mirror are summarized in the following table.

Metrology Laboratory

The mission of the Metrology Laboratory in the class 10000 cleanroom WSLA/022 is quality measurement of X-ray optics. There are three main instruments: the Long Trace Profiler (LTP) for 1d figure measurements, the Zygo Verifire ATZ interferometer for 2d figure measurements and the Zygo NewView 5010 for roughness measurements.
