Description

The Variable Line Spacing Plane Grating Monochromator (VLS-PGM) beamline is one of the several soft X-ray beamlines at the Canadian Light Source (CLS). It is designed to produce photons ranging from 5.2 to 250 eV with a resolving power of 10,000. It uses a 185 mm period length Planar Permanent Magnet (PPM) insertion device as the photon source, sharing a straight with a 45 mm PPM undulator for the Spherical Grating Monochromator (SGM) beamline. The technical and optical performances of the beamline are discussed. Gas phase results obtained during the beamline commissioning demonstrated a resolving power of over 10,000 for all three gratings
