Description

The combination of an intense pulsed laser and the SPring-8 X-ray synchrotron radiation (SR) pulses has enabled us to make time-resolved X-ray diffraction measurements on picosecond time scale. The laser-SR synchronization technique needed for the time-resolved measurements and the performance obtained at SPring-8, are described. By using the synchronization system, the laser-induced crystal lattice expansion with a response time of a few hundred picoseconds was observed. Application of the laser-induced lattice expansion to a fast X-ray shutter is also descried. (author)
