The Infrared Microspectroscopy Beamline at CAMD

Simple design of CAMD’s new infrared microspectroscopy beamline is presented. A pair of mirrors, planar and toroidal, is utilized for extracting infrared radiation from the conventional bending magnet port to a diamond window located outside of the shielding wall. Infrared radiation passed through the diamond window is then collimated by a small parabolic mirror, and fed into a Michelson interferometer. The Nicolet Nexus 670 FT‐IR spectrometer and the Continuum microscope serve as the end station for this infrared microspectroscopy beamline.
