- Advantages as an IR source
- Disadvantages
- Big
- Expensive
- Beam stability and steadiness (solved at NSLS)
- Using brightness:
- Small samples (IR transmission on High Tc and Quasi one-dimensional conductors )
- High pressure diamond anvil cell (search for metallic H, fullerenes)
- ....
- Using small solid angle / small source size
- Spectroscopy at grazing angles (surface/molecule interactions)
- Ellipsometry (high Tc)
- Microscopy (hystology of bones, doped fullerides,...)
- ....
- Using pulses
- Time resolved IR (pump @ probe, protein folding)
- Potential improvement of S/N by using Lock-in technique or gated amplifiers.
- ....
