At SOLEIL, the production of high brilliant photon beams with adjustable polarization is achieved by means of Advanced Planar Polarized Light Emitter-II (APPLE-II) undulators. The HU36 is a short period high field APPLE-II type undulator with 36 mm period and 0.8 T peak field at a minimum gap of 11 mm. The HU36 circularly polarized radiation ranges from 2 keV to 5 keV, while the planar one extends up to 10 keV. High harmonic radiation (up to the 13th) is required to reach such high energy; therefore a small RMS phase error is needed. To enable closing the gap at 11 mm, the HU36 is planned to be installed in a short section where the large horizontal beta function imposes constraining tolerances on the integrated field errors. However at low period and high field, the magnet holders, commonly used at SOLEIL to maintain magnets on the girders, experience mechanical deformation due to the large magnetic forces. This results in the variation of field integrals when the shift between girders is changed. Solutions to minimize these errors are discussed and finally the HU36 magnetic performances are reviewed.

The production of high fluxes in the hard X-rays region is a major issue on medium energy storage rings. It requires the installation of Insertion Devices with high magnetic field and a large number of periods. The construction of a superconducting wiggler has been first envisaged but reveals to be maintenance constraining, much more complex and expensive than the permanent magnet technology. A small gap in vacuum wiggler composed of 38 periods of 50 mm has been preferred. The compact magnetic system allows to produce in a limited space a magnetic field of 2.1 T in a small gap of 5.5 mm, whereas an auxiliary counterforce system based on non-magnetic springs compensate the magnetic forces (up to 8.5 Tons) acting between magnet arrays. The gap between jaws and the mechanical deformations have been controlled and corrected. Magic fingers corrections have been also performed to reduce the integrated multipoles and to minimize the 2nd order integrals resulting from the tight width of the wiggler poles. This paper presents the design of the wiggler, the construction, and the results of the measurements after magnetic corrections.
