IMBUIA beamline: the infrared station at Sirius.

Imbuia is the new infrared beamline planned for Sirius, the Brazilian 4th generation synchrotron source. The name is an acronym for Infrared Micro and nano-spectroscopy Beamline for Ultra-resolved Imaging Applications. This beamline will provide experimental stations dedicated to multiscale opto-chemical analysis of organic and inorganic materials.
The Imbuia infrared beam will cover the range from THz to near-IR, which will enable studies in a variety of areas such as chemistry, physics, geology, paleontology, biology and many others. This broadband beam will be available simultaneously at two branches: The Imbuia-Micro, for infrared multispectral imaging limited by diffraction, and Imbuia-Nano for multispectral imaging with nanometric spatial resolution using s-SNOM (scattering Scanning Near field Optical Microscopy) technique. In this presentation, we present potential scientific goals for the beamline, main details for the optical layout and instrumentation applied to infrared radiation extraction. Beamline supporting labs, samples handling/fabrication and optics lab, will be covered as well as a key point for high level experiments and community service for this station.
