Infrared synchrotron radiation measurements at Brookhaven

Abstract

We describe the spectrometer and experimental stations on the infrared beamline (IR4) at the National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven. We also report measurements of the source characteristics in the range 30–400 μm (25–350 cm−1), including both flux and brightness and compare them with corresponding measurements from a 1000-K blackbody source.
