  4. Who are FMB Oxford? • UK Limited Company • Wholly-owned subsidiary of FMB in Berlin • >US$10M turnover • 50 staff • Specialising in Design, Assembly, Test and Install • Operating from 2,000 sqm factory in Oxford • BS EN ISO9001 since 1996

  5. Our History – 2 decades In the early 1990s Oxford instruments Synchrotron Group, which had been manufacturing Superconducting Compact Synchrotrons, began to supply beamline components to many of the then new 3rd generation light sources. In January 2001 Oxford Instruments sold the Group to Danfysik A/S. In March 2002, Oxford Danfysik moved into a new factory, which had been completely refurbished specifically to suit our synchrotron beamline business. In October 2007, FMB Berlin acquired Oxford Danfysik, renaming the company to FMB Oxford. The combined business has the largest installed base and the greatest range of products of any supplier in the synchrotron community.

  22. Energy filtering • Bent crystal Laue analysers

  23. Energy filtering – BCLAs • Narrow band pass filter for targeting required post-sample wavelengths • Typical beam input of <100μm x 1mm • Logarithmically shaped crystals to deflect required energy bands towards output • Soller slits to interrupt unwanted energy bands (scattering and unwanted fluorescence lines) • Each BCLA is tuned to a specific input energy, from 5.3 keV to 22 keV • Typical band pass is 10-100 keV • Easily manipulated and compatible with a wide variety of detectors • Licensed exclusively to FMB Oxford

  38. NanoBPM The NanoBPM technology was developed and patented by Roelof van Silfhout at the University of Manchester, UK The technology has been exclusively licensed to FMB Oxford The technology uses an in-situ scattering foil and pinhole camera to magnify the beam cross section onto a CMOS camera The NanoBPM allows in-situ, high resolution characterisation of beam position and shape

  39. NanoBPM The system provides concurrent intensity and positional data from the beam, transparently Its capability has been verified experimentally on beamlines ID6, ID32 and BM26A at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility and I22 at Diamond Light Source The camera is a 1286 x 1030 array of pixels 7μm x 7μm each. The image provided was taken close to the sample on BM26A and demonstrates the focal spot of the beam

  40. NanoBPM This image demonstrates the resolution of the NanoBPM in comparison with a quadrant ion chamber on ID6. The readings were taken simultaneously during a series of steps of 200nm The NanoBPM system comes ready with its own dedicated electronics and processor. The outputs provide servo feedback control via 4x 16 bit DAC outputs It comes with a dedicated Windows application. Dedicated drivers and GUIs for EPICS, SPEC and LabVIEW have also been developed

  41. NanoBPM Approximate dimensions of the system: 12” tall; 4” horizontal flange; 2.5” vertical flange Potential to monitor polychromatic beams close to the source using Beryllium or Diamond foils
