A newly developed high-performance imaging spin filter system based on a large Ir(001) scattering crystal tackles the issue of previously inefficient spin-resolving photoemission spectrometers. An increase of the effective figure of merit by a factor of over 103 in contrast to standard single-channel detectors is presented together with a detailed characterization of the experimental setup. The spin filter efficiency is analyzed by mapping a broad range of scattering energy and azimuthal angle. A high sensitivity to spin-components parallel and perpendicular to the scattering plane is observed under certain scattering conditions. An additional spin rotator element allows the independent determination of the two in-plane components of the spin vector. By combining three or six scattering conditions a vectorial spin analysis becomes possible for both, magnetic and non-magnetic samples.
