Compact x-ray free-electron laser from a laser-plasma accelerator using a transverse-gradient undulator.
Compact laser-plasma accelerators can produce high energy electron beams with low emittance, high peak current but a rather large energy spread. The large energy spread hinders the potential applications for coherent free-electron laser (FEL) radiation generation. We discuss a method to compensate the effects of beam energy spread by introducing a transverse field variation into the FEL undulat...
متن کاملA compact tunable polarized X-ray source based on laser-plasma helical undulators
Laser wakefield accelerators have great potential as the basis for next generation compact radiation sources because of their extremely high accelerating gradients. However, X-ray radiation from such devices still lacks tunability, especially of the intensity and polarization distributions. Here we propose a tunable polarized radiation source based on a helical plasma undulator in a plasma chan...
متن کاملLiquid-nitrogen-jet laser-plasma source for compact soft x-ray microscopy
We describe a liquid-nitrogen-jet laser-plasma source with sufficient brightness, uniformity, stability, and reliability to be suitable for compact water-window soft x-ray transmission microscopy. A cooled capillary nozzle arrangement allows long-term operation and avoids previously reported jet instabilities. The source is quantitatively characterized by calibrated slit-grating spectroscopy an...
متن کاملTowards Compact X-Ray Microscopy with Liquid-Nitrogen-Jet Laser-Plasma Source
In this contribution we present source properties and design considerations for a compact x-ray microscope operating in the water-window spectral region at 2.48 nm. The microscope will use a liquid-nitrogen-jet laser-plasma source with sufficient brightness, uniformity, stability and reliability for microscopy operation. The source is quantitatively characterized by calibrated slitgrating spect...
متن کاملCompact x-ray microscope for the water window based on a high brightness laser plasma source.
We present a laser plasma based x-ray microscope for the water window employing a high-average power laser system for plasma generation. At 90 W laser power a brightness of 7.4 x 10(11) photons/(s x sr x μm(2)) was measured for the nitrogen Lyα line emission at 2.478 nm. Using a multilayer condenser mirror with 0.3 % reflectivity 10(6) photons/(μm(2) x s) were obtained in the object plane. Micr...
