New infrared spectroscopic beamline at BESSY II

Abstract

At BESSY a multipurpose infrared (IR) beamline is being built for biological and materials science investigations. It will provide useful IR intensities over the energy range from about 10 000 down to 50 cm−1 and lower. After commissioning the first beamline section in the spring of this year first quantitative measurements on the performance have been made in the near and mid-infrared wavelength region.
