X-ray Optics and Diagnostics for the First Experiments on the Linac Coherent Light Source

Creators

Description

The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is a 1.5 to 15 (angstrom)-Wavelength free-electron laser (FEL), currently proposed for the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The photon output consists of high brightness, transversely coherent pulses with duration < 300 fs, together with a broad spontaneous spectrum with total power comparable to the coherent output. The output fluence, and pulse duration, pose special challenges for optical component and diagnostic designs. We discuss some of the proposed solutions, and give specific examples related to the planned initial experiments
