  • Description: We present an ultra-compact 3He polarizer to be used as a polarization analyzer for separation of incoherent background for soft matter research. The 3He will be polarized in-situ within a very compact, 18 cm long, magnetic cavity that can be placed between the sample and the detector tank of small-angle scattering diffractometer KWS2 at MLZ [1]. This allows for the angular coverage of 38°, that corresponds to the maximal momentum transfer Qmaxλ=0.85 Å−1 for neutrons with wavelength λ=4.5Å. The Qmax can be extended to 1.28 Å−1 following the recent upgrade of KWS2 for neutron wavelength λ=3Å. The optical pumping will be done by the diode laser array bar frequency narrowed by the ultra-compact volume Bragg grating. The full system will be readily hand transportable and thus useful as an instrument add-on.
