Nanofocusing of X-ray free-electron lasers by grazing-incidence reflective optics
Total-reflection mirror devices for X-ray free-electron laser focusing are discussed in terms of optical design, mirror-fabrication technology, a wavefront diagnosis method and radiation-damage testing, as a review of the present status of the focusing optics at the SPring-8 angstrom compact free-electron laser (SACLA). Designed beam sizes of 1 µm and 50 nm, and spot sizes almost matching predi...
متن کاملX-ray free-electron lasers
In a free-electron laser (FEL) the lasing medium is a high-energy beam of electrons flying with relativistic speed through a periodic magnetic field. The interaction between the synchrotron radiation that is produced and the electrons in the beam induces a periodic bunching of the electrons, greatly increasing the intensity of radiation produced at a particular wavelength. Depending only on a p...
متن کاملRonchi test for characterization of nanofocusing optics at a hard x-ray free-electron laser.
We demonstrate the use of the classical Ronchi test to characterize aberrations in focusing optics at a hard x-ray free-electron laser. A grating is placed close to the focus and the interference between the different orders after the grating is observed in the far field. Any aberrations in the beam or the optics will distort the interference fringes. The method is simple to implement and can p...

PACS. 61.10.-i – X-ray diffraction and scattering. PACS. 32.80.-t – Photon interactions with atoms. PACS. 36.40.-c – Atomic and molecular clusters. Abstract. – The ingenious idea of single molecule imaging by hard x-ray Free Electron Laser (X-FEL) pulses was recently proposed by Neutze et al. [1]. However, in their numerical modelling of the Coulomb explosion several interactions were neglected...
متن کاملDamage thresholds for blaze diffraction gratings and grazing incidence optics at an X-ray free-electron laser
The Linac Coherent Light Source is upgrading its machine to high repetition rate and to extended ranges. Novel coatings, with limited surface oxidation, which are able to work at the carbon edge, are required. In addition, high-resolution soft X-ray monochromators become necessary. One of the big challenges is to design the mirror geometry and the grating profile to have high reflectivity (or e...
