The effect of applied strain on the luminosity and divergence of neutron monochromator with fully asymmetric diffraction geometry will be reported. The monochromator used silicon single crystal with 200 x 30 x 4 mm3, which has the parallel face of the crystal to the planes (220). The plain used for this monochromator was (311), which has a 31.5 degree to the (220) face. Fully asymmetric diffraction geometry had been fulfilled with the take-of-angle of the monochromator at 63 degrees. Four lines are bending system used for applying the strain to the crystal, which remote-controlled by computer. The 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200 microStrain (uStrain) applied the monochromator crystal respectively. Diffracted neutron from the monochromator was monitored by using a neutron camera for evaluating the luminosity and divergence of the beam. The wavelength of the monochromatized beam was calibrated by using a Nickel rod.
