Recent activities at optical laboratories 1 and 2 at the Photon Factory are presented. The activities are (i) construction of optical laboratory 1, (ii) reconstruction of optical laboratory 2, (iii) construction of a visible synchrotron radiation beam extraction mirror made of beryllium, (iv) small-beam-pro®le measurement by means of the image restoration method, (v) application of the adaptive optical system for correction of distorted wavefronts caused by deformation of the extraction mirror, (vi) construction of a synchrotron radiation interferometer for investigation of the spatial coherency of the visible synchrotron radiation beam and its application to the measurement of vertical beam pro®le and size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
