XEOL is an X-ray photon in/optical photon out technique that is related to the conversion of the X-ray energy absorbed by the materials to optical photons, involving multi-step energy transfer cascade processes. XEOL is now available at the end station of BM-08 XAFS/XRF beamline with emission spectra measurement capability under irradiation with X-ray beam.
