Abstract: Using the home-made synchrotron radiation soft X-ray polarimeter based on multilayer elements, the polarization characteristics of the Beamline 3W1B have been measured at Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF). This paper compares the measuring results of using polarizer with the results without the polarizer at 206eV. The degree of linear polarization without the polarizer is 0.585. However, the degree of linear polarization is up to 0.995 when the beam is polarized by multilayer optical elements.
