Most synchrotron facilities offer a port dedicated to infrared (IR) spectroscopy and infrared-microspectroscopy. The main advantage of synchrotron-based infrared spectroscopy is the brightness of synchrotron radiation source. The synchrotron radiation source provides brightness 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than a thermal infrared source. Thus, synchrotron based infrared spectroscopy has allowed high spatial resolution and high spectral resolution, especially for low throughput technologies and far-infrared spectroscopy. Infrared beamlines are now facing an increasing demand of beamtime from various disciplines: Polymer Science, Biology, biomedical applications, Earth Science, Environmental science, Chemistry, Cultural Heritage, Archaeology and soft matter. Synchrotron-based infrared spectroscopy and its applications will be presented. In addition, the current status of infrared beamline of PAL will be discussed. |
