Abstract = {{PoLIFEMo (Polarized Light Improved Flux Efficiency Monochromator) is the
   name of a spherical grating monochromator designed with the purpose of
   maximizing the photon intensity on a sample. The device is mainly
   conceived to improve performances of an x-ray emission spectrometer,
   whose limiting factor is often the counting rate. By keeping the exit
   slit fixed, it is possible to let a small spot size (similar to 35 mu m
   vertically) on a sample placed just near the exit slit, without the need
   of postgrating refocusing optics. No entrance slit is used because of
   the low beam divergence, allowing the use of a virtual source in a
   converging beam geometry. The tuning of the output energy is done by
   translating and pitching the spherical grating. The resolving power is
   higher than 1000 over the whole energy range (500-1500 eV). A detailed
   analysis of the optical performances is given, mostly in comparison with
   the Dragon-type monochromator, The actual realization of the device is
   described, together with the specific motivations and the experimental
   performances. PoLIFEMo has been installed on beam line ID12B at the
   European Synchrotron Radiation Facility since July 1996. (C) 1998
