Modeling of Ultrafast Streak Cameras*

چکیده
We present progress on modeling of x-ray streak cameras with application to measurement of ultrafast phenomena. Our approach is based on treating the streak camera as a photocathode gun and applying modeling tools for beam optics and electromagnetic fields. We use these models to compare with experimental results from a streak camera developed at the Advanced Light Source. We also shows how this model can be used to explore several ideas for achieving sub-100 fsec resolution.

Ultrafast, jitter-free x-ray streak camera that uses single-photon counting.
A novel method developed to increase the temporal resolution of x-ray streak cameras is described. The method is analogous to the time-correlated single-photon-counting technique, which is commonly used in atomic physics. By use of short-pulse x-ray radiation from a laser-produced plasma, generated by an ultrafast laser, it is shown that a standard x-ray streak camera with a nominal temporal re...
متن کاملRobust reconstruction of time-resolved diffraction from ultrafast streak cameras
In conjunction with ultrafast diffraction, streak cameras offer an unprecedented opportunity for recording an entire molecular movie with a single probe pulse. This is an attractive alternative to conventional pump-probe experiments and opens the door to studying irreversible dynamics. However, due to the "smearing" of the diffraction pattern across the detector, the streaking technique has thu...
متن کاملThe Effects of Space Charge on Electron Pulse Broadening in Streak Cameras
Streak cameras are used to record the time history of laser pulses and experimental signals at LLE. However, space charge effects can distort images recorded on the phosphor screen of streak cameras, making it difficult to impossible to accurately interpret the image. Space charge effects are caused by the interactions between the photoelectrons while in transit in the streak tube. These intera...
متن کاملAn ultrafast x-ray detector system at an elliptically polarizing undulator beamline
An ultrafast x-ray detector system is under development at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) for application primarily to study of ultrafast magnetization dynamics. The system consists of a fs laser, an x-ray streak camera and an elliptically polarization undulator (EPU) beamline. Polarized x-rays from an EPU can be used to measure x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) of a sample...
متن کاملUltrafast Magnetization Dynamics Studies using an X-ray Streak Camera
The spin dynamics of ferromagnetic thin films following an excitation by ultrashort 100-fs near-infrared laser pulses has recently received much attention. Here, a new approach is described using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism to investigate demagnetization and magnetization switching processes. In contrast to magneto-optical measurements, x-ray dichroism has the advantage of determining sep...
