The μmRIXS confocal plane grating spectrometer offers high resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectroscopy in the soft x-ray range between 50 eV and 1000 eV. The small focus of its dedicated beamline allows for spectroscopical imaging at selected sample sites with a spatial resolution of 1 micrometer.

We report on the development of a high-resolution and highly efficient beamline for soft X-ray resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) located at the Taiwan Photon Source. This beamline adopts an optical design that uses an active grating monochromator (AGM) and an active grating spectrometer (AGS) to implement the energy compensation principle of grating dispersion. Active gratings are utilized to diminish defocus, coma and higher-order aberrations, as well as to decrease the slope errors caused by thermal deformation and optical polishing. The AGS is mounted on a rotatable granite platform to enable momentum-resolved RIXS measurements with scattering angles over a wide range. Several high-precision instruments developed in-house for this beamline are described briefly. The best energy resolution obtained from this AGM–AGS beamline was 12.4 meV at 530 eV, achieving a resolving power of 4.2 × 104, while the bandwidth of the incident soft X-rays was kept at 0.5 eV. To demonstrate the scientific impact of high-resolution RIXS, we present an example of momentum-resolved RIXS measurements on a high-temperature superconducting cuprate, i.e. La2–x Sr x CuO4. The measurements reveal the A1g buckling phonons in superconducting cuprates, opening a new opportunity to investigate the coupling between these phonons and charge-density waves.

Spectroscopic analysis is a powerful technique for the diagnosis of temperatures and compositions of astrophysical plasmas. The EUV (100–1000Å) and soft x-ray (10–100Å) bands contain hundreds of potentially useful diagnostic lines. Unfortunately, traditional types of grating spectrometer become inefficient or unwieldy when adapted to stellar spectroscopy onboard a spacecraft. At grazing incidence, the required length of a high-resolution plane-grating spectrometer can easily exceed the length of the telescope feeding it. For these reasons, we have systematically explored ways to introduce a reflection grating into the converging beam formed by a given objective optical system ahead of its first focus. A spectrometer of this type results in an optical train no longer than the telescope’s existing prime-focus beam.
