Spectra and optics of synchrotron radiation

The spectra, angular distribution, and polarization functions of synchrotron radiation are tabulated in parametric form. Numerous graphs of the functions are included, and these can be used for rapid estimation of photon flux as a function of the various parameters. The extended synchrotron radiation source is described, and the exact, but unintegrable, equations are derived. Properties of this source depend upon at least nine parameters. An approximation of the source accurate enough for estimating flux in optical instruments is developed. Power and power density in the radiation beam are described and convenient approximations are developed. Simple optical transformations are used to illustrate some of the important properties of the extended source
