Scientific paper

The design and optical characteristics of a tunable X-ray polarimeter set up at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven are described. Initially, the energy range from 7.0 to 9.2 keV is covered with a polarization extinction ratio greater than 10,000 and a statistically limited sensitivity of 70 microrad in measurements of optical rotary power. First spectroscopic measurements on a wide range of cobalt compounds show optical activity, Faraday rotation, and circular dichroism in the energy region close to the cobalt K edge. More recently, work has been done on a variety of samples containing iron near the iron K edge.
