Grating configurations to compress free-electron laser pulses

  • 1. National Research Council - Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnologies, via Trasea 7, Padova 35136 (Italy)

Description

Grating configurations for compressing free-electron-laser pulses are discussed. The optical layout of soft X-ray grating compressors designed to provide both positive and negative group-delay dispersion (GDD) is discussed. They are tailored for chirped-pulse-amplification experiments with seeded free-electron laser sources. Designs with plane or concave gratings are discussed, depending on the sign of the GDD to be introduced.
