  We present a new library of high-resolution synthetic spectra based on the
stellar atmosphere code PHOENIX that can be used for a wide range of
applications of spectral analysis and stellar parameter synthesis. The
spherical mode of PHOENIX was used to create model atmospheres and to derive
detailed synthetic stellar spectra from them. We present a new self-consistent
way of describing micro-turbulence for our model atmospheres. The synthetic
spectra cover the wavelength range from 500AA to 50.000AA with resolutions of
R=500.000 in the optical and near IR, R=100.000 in the IR and a step size of
0.1AA in the UV. The parameter space covers 2.300K<=Teff<=12.000K,
0.0<=log(g)<=+6.0, -4.0<=[Fe/H]<=+1.0, and -0.2<=[alpha/Fe]<=+1.2. The library
is a work in progress and we expect to extend it up to Teff=25.000 K.
