Undulators and wigglers for the new generation of synchrotron sources

Abstract
The technological issues involved in the manufacturing of undulators and wigglers for the new generation of synchrotron radiation sources are discussed, with a particular emphasis on the solutions adopted at ESRF such as segmentation and shimming. The main characteristics of the radiation from the undulators and wigglers are discussed in term of total power, angular power, spectral brilliance and spectral flux. Illustration is again taken from ESRF. A brief description is given of the new devices that have been or can be, built to produce circularly polarized radiation.
