To understand the origin of the high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates, it is necessary to study the electronic structure of the copper oxides. Information about the electronic structure and symmetry can be obtained by XANES measurements at the Cu K-edge. The combination of x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray polarimetry offers a much more sensitive method to explore electronic anisotropies and magnetic moments, since the absorption depends on the polarization state.Using crossed x-ray polarizers, tiny optical anisotropies caused by electronic anisotropies can be detected. The x-ray polarizers are based on Bragg reflection at scattering angles very close to 90∘. Polarization purities up to 1.2· 10−7 can be reached using quartz polarizers with a 320-reflection at the Cu K-edge.
