Performance of a beam-multiplexing diamond crystal monochromator at the Linac Coherent Light Source.

چکیده
A double-crystal diamond monochromator was recently implemented at the Linac Coherent Light Source. It enables splitting pulses generated by the free electron laser in the hard x-ray regime and thus allows the simultaneous operations of two instruments. Both monochromator crystals are High-Pressure High-Temperature grown type-IIa diamond crystal plates with the (111) orientation. The first crystal has a thickness of ~100 μm to allow high reflectivity within the Bragg bandwidth and good transmission for the other wavelengths for downstream use. The second crystal is about 300 μm thick and makes the exit beam of the monochromator parallel to the incoming beam with an offset of 600 mm. Here we present details on the monochromator design and its performance.

All-diamond optical assemblies for a beam-multiplexing X-ray monochromator at the Linac Coherent Light Source
A double-crystal diamond (111) monochromator recently implemented at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) enables splitting of the primary X-ray beam into a pink (transmitted) and a monochromatic (reflected) branch. The first monochromator crystal, with a thickness of ∼100 µm, provides sufficient X-ray transmittance to enable simultaneous operation of two beamlines. This article reports the d...
متن کاملDemonstration of simultaneous experiments using thin crystal multiplexing at the Linac Coherent Light Source
Multiplexing of the Linac Coherent Light Source beam was demonstrated for hard X-rays by spectral division using a near-perfect diamond thin-crystal monochromator operating in the Bragg geometry. The wavefront and coherence properties of both the reflected and transmitted beams were well preserved, thus allowing simultaneous measurements at two separate instruments. In this report, the structur...
متن کاملChirped-beam two-stage free-electron laser for high-power femtosecond x-ray pulse generation
A method for generating femtosecond-duration x-ray pulses with a free-electron laser is presented. This method uses an energy-chirped electron beam propagating through an undulator to produce a frequencychirped x-ray pulse by self-amplified spontaneous emission. A short temporal pulse is created by use of a monochromator to select a narrow radiation bandwidth. A second undulator is used to ampl...
متن کاملLinac Coherent Light Source soft x-ray materials science instrument optical design and monochromator commissioning.
We present the x-ray optical design of the soft x-ray materials science instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source, consisting of a varied line-spaced grating monochromator and Kirkpatrick-Baez refocusing optics. Results from the commissioning of the monochromator are shown. A resolving power of 3000 was achieved, which is within a factor of two of the design goal.
متن کاملExperimental Study of Positron Production from Monocrystalline Targets at the Kekb Injector Linac
We report a series of positron-production experiments from an axially-oriented single-crystal target by 4and 8GeV channeling electrons at the KEKB injector linac. The targets tested are tungsten crystals with different thicknesses (14.2 mm at maximum), and diamond crystals with two different thicknesses (7.25 mm at maximum). The axis <111> for the tungsten crystals and that <110> for the diamon...
