Workshop #5 at the NSLS Users' MeetingAdvanced Optical Systems and Metrology for High Power and Coherent BeamlinesLocation: Bldg. 555, Chemistry, Hamilton Date: May 19, 2004 Organizers: Description: The extreme brightness and ultra-low emittance of the NSLS II and other next-generation light sources present significant challenges to users in the design of optical systems that take advantage of these unique x-ray beam qualities. This workshop will investigate the design, fabrication, and testing issues involved in developing beam line optical components to meet these challenges. Current state-of-the-art manufacturing processes can produce large mirrors with surface slope errors in the 0.5 µrad range. New mirrors will be required with slope errors below the 100 nrad level over large areas in order not to degrade the coherence properties of the source. Handling the large power densities from the small source size will require novel materials and designs for cooled optics to keep surface distortions to a minimum. Schedule:

The National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, is a national user research
facility funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Science. The NSLS operates two electron
storage rings: an X-Ray ring and a Vacuum UltraViolet (VUV) ring which provide intense light spanning the electromagnetic
spectrum from the infrared through x-rays. Each year over 2300 scientists from universities, industries and government
labs perform research at the NSLS.
