The special properties of synchrotron light are leading to a rapid increase in its utilization for both research and technology. At wavelength in the ultraviolet region of the broad spectrum in these beams a number of atomic, molecular, and solid-state spectroscopies are being pursued; soft x-rays are being used for spectroscopy, lithography, microscopy, and topography; at still shorter wavelengths, advantage is taken of scattering properties to probe the structure of matter. Characteristics of synchrotron radiation and of the sources which produce it are described, and some typical investigations and applications are presented to suggest the versatility of these sources.
同步加速器光的特殊性质正在导致其在研究和技术方面的应用迅速增加。在这些光束的宽光谱的紫外区域的波长，正在进行许多原子、分子和固态光谱学研究；软 X 射线用于光谱学、光刻、显微镜和形貌学；在更短的波长下，利用散射特性来探测物质的结构。描述了同步加速器辐射的特性和产生它的源的特性，并提出了一些典型的研究和应用，以展示这些源的多功能性。
