McXtrace: Czerny_Turner

[ Identification | Description | Examples | Input parameters | Links ]

The Czerny_Turner Instrument

Czerny-Turner monochromator.

Identification

  • Site: BARC
  • Author: Stephane Bac, Antoine Padovani
  • Origin: Synchrotron Soleil
  • Date: Jul 21st 2022

Description

This Czerny-Turner monochromator was built from "Design and fabrication of a Czerny-Turner monochromator-cum-spectrograph" by
Murty, M.V.R.K.; Shukla, R.P.; Bhattacharya, S.S.; Krishnamurthy, G. (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India). Spectroscopy Div.)
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India)
1987

Example: Do a scan (scan parameter =1) from x_screw=20 to 103 mm. The calculated monitor "Wavelength(Ang) as a function of x_screw(mm)" will be a linear function. The monochromator functions properly.

Examples

(Test cases in bold)
  • Test: x_screw=60 Detector: w_monitor_I=0.0721
  • TestScan: mxrun Czerny_Turner.instr -N21 x_screw=20,103 scan=1 -n1e6 Detector: Wavelength_I={21 values}

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
NameUnitDescriptionDefault
x_screwmmDisplacement perpendicular to initial position of the lever (sine drive mechanism)0
scan0 or 11 is to activate wavelength monitor while scanning the x_screw parameter0
