The LEPS2 beamline, which produces a linearly polarized photon beam up to 2.9 GeV via laser Compton backscattering, has been constructed at SPring-8. This new project aims to increase the beam intensity one order of magnitude more than that of the LEPS beamline and to enable the construction of large acceptance detectors with high resolutions. The first photon beam was successfully observed in the measurements of energy spectrum, beam profile, and beam intensity. The construction and commissioning of the LEPS2 facility are described in this report.
