Enlarging the Frontiers of Research in the IR/mm Range Using Synchrotron Radiation

Optical probes are among the most important techniques for characterizing new physical states induced by changes of temperature and/or pressure. In link with its high brightness and wide spectral coverage, infrared synchrotron radiation is ideally suited for such studies when the quantity of material to investigate is limited or when the system needs to be probed down to the sub mm domain.
