Welcome to SURF III
NIST's Synchrotron Radiation Source for Radiometry and Research
The Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation
Facility is operated by the Electron
and Optical Physics Division of the Physics Laboratory of
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology.
SURF III is a stable source of synchrotron radiation from the infrared to the
soft x-ray spectral regions. Currently several calibration services are
provided at SURF beamlines: ultraviolet (UV) detector calibrations, extreme
ultraviolet (EUV) detector calibrations and measurements of optical properties
in the UV and EUV. Furthermore beamline 2 is open to customers for
calibration of photodetector packages based on the calculability of synchrotron
radiation.
Currently we are developing several other beamlines to add or enhance
calibration services: Beamline 3 is currently under development to enhance
our capabilities for source based radiometry by reducing the uncertainty for
the electron beam current determination. It will also provide additional
experimental stations for the calibration of filtered detector packages and
standard light sources. At beamline 5 we are working on the implementation
of a UV Fourier Transform Spectrometer aimed at the determination of optical
properties at 157 nm and the calibration of emission sources in the UV. On
beamline 8 we are planning to implement a UV photoelectron emission
microscope (UV-PEEM), which will allow us to study radiation damage in
photodiodes in better detail.
