Description
Session 6
Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and x-ray free-electron lasers (FELs), delivering intense ultrashort pulses in the femtosecond regime and even below, create new opportunities for site-specific light-matter interaction, and eventually to control the intrinsic quantum dynamics of a system with atomic scale resolution. Using visible lasers, the technique of ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy...
The spectrum of SASE XFEL sources exhibits strong variations pulse-to-pulse. As a consequence, XFEL-driven experiments, XFEL optimization or “new-modes” development rely on X-ray spectrometers functioning on a shot-to-shot basis.
We will discuss the potentiality of the setup used at SwissFEL, as well as results obtained during its commissioning.
Several arrangements of transmission...
The reflection zone plate (RZP), as a wavelength-dispersive optical element, has been successfully used in several designs of femtosecond (fs) spectrometers and monochromators for soft X-rays [1]. While demonstrating its evident advantages in comparison with conventional VLS gratings, like a high resolving power at the design energy and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, RZPs on planar...
