The new XEOL setup is suitable for routine steady state XEOL measurements and for simultaneous XEOL and X-ray absorption spectroscopy characterizations. The key components of the setup include a state-of-the-art optical spectrograph, equipped with a triple grating turret, and a Si CCD camera and an (In,Ga)As photodiode array detectors, and a modified He-flow cryostat with three X-ray windows and one optical window.
