Abstract
The National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) is a third-generation medium-energy storage ring with 3 GeV and sub-nm-rad horizontal emittance, equipped with a top-off capability of 500 mA. It is designed to deliver an extremely intense photon beam across a wide spectral range, from the far-infrared to the very hard X-ray region. This outstanding performance is achieved through a combination of bending magnets (BM), three-pole wigglers (3 PW), and advanced insertion device (ID) sources. Six three-pole wigglers have been constructed at the NSLS-II IDs Lab. These devices are used to produce broadband radiation with lower angular power density and to monitor the electron beam emittance and energy spread. This paper describes the R&D activities focused on developing the required magnetic and mechanical designs, along with magnetic field optimization and the final magnetic measurement results. It also covers the spectral brightness, flux, power density, spatial and angular output properties of the 3 PWs, including their commissioning results and their effects on the performance of the NSLS-II storage ring.
