Picosecond soft x ray source from subpicosecond laser produced plasmas
Short pulse high intensity laser plasma interactions are investigated experimentally with temporally and spectrally resolved soft x ray diagnostics We demonstrate that the pulse width of the laser produced x rays emitted from solid targets may be varied down to the picosecond time scale by adjusting the incident laser ux Bright picosecond broadband emission characteristic of a short scale lengt...
متن کاملSingle-optical-element soft-x-ray interferometry with a laser-plasma x-ray source.
We report on a compact interferometer for the water-window soft-x-ray range that is suitable for operation with laser-plasma sources. The interferometer consists of a single diffractive optical element that focuses impinging x rays to two focal spots. The light from these two secondary sources forms the interference pattern. The interferometer was operated with a liquid-nitrogen jet laser-plasm...
متن کاملAn ultracompact X-ray source based on a laser-plasma undulator.
The capability of plasmas to sustain ultrahigh electric fields has attracted considerable interest over the last decades and has given rise to laser-plasma engineering. Today, plasmas are commonly used for accelerating and collimating relativistic electrons, or to manipulate intense laser pulses. Here we propose an ultracompact plasma undulator that combines plasma technology and nanoengineerin...
متن کاملDesign of an X-ray Free Electron Laser Undulator
An undulator designed to be used for an x-ray free electron laser has to meet a set of stringent requirements. With no optical cavity, an x-ray FEL operates in the single pass Self Amplfied Spontaneous Emission (SASE) mode; an electron macropulse is microbunched by an undulator and the radiation it creates. The microbunched pulse emits spontaneous radiation and coherent FEL radiation, whose pow...
متن کاملBeamline X29: a novel undulator source for X-ray crystallography.
A high-flux insertion device and beamline for macromolecular crystallography has been built at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) that employs a mini-gap undulator source developed by the NSLS. The mini-gap undulator at beamline X29 is a hybrid-magnet device of period 12.5 mm operating at proven gaps of 3.3-10 mm. The beamline provides hard X-rays for macromolecular crystallography ex...
