A quasi periodic elliptical undulator (QP-EPU105) has been recently put in operation at the Electron Spectro Microscopy beamline at NSLS-II. Commissioning results pertaining to its initial characterization are presented. The spectral and angular distributions of the light have been probed and compared with emission calculations based on the measured magnetic field. The light polarization produced in parallel and anti-parallel operation modes is also quantitatively analyzed.

Although not specific to a QP device, generating low photon energies with a medium energy ring (20 eV, 3 GeV NSLSII ring) poses a serious heat load problem, particularly for the first optics. For QP-EPU105 operating at 20 eV, the total power absorbed on M1 is 1.1 kW, assuming 0.4x0.4 mrad2 beam acceptance and 500 mA ring current. This considerable power load is handled by internal water cooling of the M1 mirror. Finite element analysis simulation show that in these conditions, the M1 thermal bump is well simulated by spherical profiles both in the longitudinal and sagittal directions. The maximum slop errors are less than 1 and 6 micro-rad in the longitudinal and sagittal direction, respectively. To reduce heat load on first optical elements, a possibility of EPU105 operation in an elliptical polarization mode, instead of purely linear horizontal polarization mode, is envisaged.

The small 300 eV peak present in the calculated spectrum of Fig. 2 is probably real but is suppressed in the experimental data due to carbon contamination of the optics surfaces.
