YB 66 is suitable for dispersing synchrotron radiation in the 1–2 keV energy range with a 2 d lattice spacing of 1.17 nm. When used with an undulator there are no positive glitches at 1385.6 and 1438 eV in spectra dispersed by a YB 66 400 double‐crystal monochromator as observed using bending‐magnet or wiggler beamlines. The transmission function of a YB 66 double‐crystal monochromator has been measured by means of a Si PIN photodetector, and X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (XANES) of Mg, Al and Si were measured at high resolution. From all of these experiments it has been clarified that a YB 66 double‐crystal monochromator is well suited for soft X‐ray beamlines on third‐generation light sources.
