Direct measurement of low vertical emittance in storage rings is typically achieved via interferometric techniques. Proof of low vertical emittance is demonstrated by the measurement of a null radiation field, which is also the crux of the vertical undulator emittance measurement. Here we present strategies to improve the sensitivity to low vertical emittance beams. We move away from photon spectrum analysis to a statistical analysis of undulator radiation, showing the measured increase in signal-to-background. Reproducing simulations of previous work, we demonstrate that photon beam polarisation extends the linearity of the technique by several decades in emittance. These statistical and polarisation improvements to the signal-to-background allow realistic measurement of smallest vertical emittance.

The spatial profile of APPLE-II undulator radiation has been measured at high undulator deflection parameter, high harmonic and very small emittance. Undulators are typically designed to operate with small deflection parameter to push the fundamental mode to high photon energies. This unusual choice of parameters is desirable for measurement of vertical emittance with a vertical undulator. We present 1-D and 2-D measured profiles of undulator radiation, and show that this is reproduced in numerical models using the measured magnetic field of the insertion device. Importantly these measurements confirm that for these parameters, the spatial intensity distribution departs significantly from usual Gaussian approximations, instead resembling a double-slit diffraction pattern. This could be an important consideration for photon beamlines of ultimate storage ring light sources.
