Femtosecond Photocathode Electron Gun for Time- Resolved Electron Diffraction
Ultrafast time-resolved electron diffraction based on a photocathode rf electron gun is being developed in Osaka University to reveal the hidden dynamics of intricate molecular and atomic processes in materials. The photocathode rf gun generates a femtosecond-bunch electron beam by femtosecond laser driving. The transverse emittance, bunch length and energy spread were measured. The growths of ...
متن کاملFemtosecond single-electron diffraction
Ultrafast electron diffraction allows the tracking of atomic motion in real time, but space charge effects within dense electron packets are a problem for temporal resolution. Here, we report on time-resolved pump-probe diffraction using femtosecond single-electron pulses that are free from intra-pulse Coulomb interactions over the entire trajectory from the source to the detector. Sufficient a...
متن کاملTime Resolved Relativistic Electron Diffraction
We report on the use of a ultrashort high brightness relativistic beam from the UCLA Pegasus laboratory RF photoinjector source for probing matter transformation at the atomic scale with sub-100 fs time resolution. The high accelerating gradient and the relativistic electron energy allow to pack more than 107 electrons in less than 100 fs bunch length, enabling the study of irreversible ultrafa...
متن کاملA compact electron gun for time-resolved electron diffraction.
A novel compact time-resolved electron diffractometer has been built with the primary goal of studying the ultrafast molecular dynamics of photoexcited gas-phase molecules. Here, we discuss the design of the electron gun, which is triggered by a Ti:Sapphire laser, before detailing a series of calibration experiments relating to the electron-beam properties. As a further test of the apparatus, i...
متن کاملSingle-shot coherent diffraction imaging of microbunched relativistic electron beams for free-electron laser applications.
With the advent of coherent x rays provided by the x-ray free-electron laser (FEL), strong interest has been kindled in sophisticated diffraction imaging techniques. In this Letter, we exploit such techniques for the diagnosis of the density distribution of the intense electron beams typically utilized in an x-ray FEL itself. We have implemented this method by analyzing the far-field coherent t...
