A hard X-ray delay line device capable of splitting single FEL pulses into two adjustable fractions and recombining them with the goal performing Photon Correlation Spectroscopy pump - probe type studies was designed. The performance has been verified at XPP XCS instruments LCLS. measured throughput 7.9 keV is 3.6%. coherence properties LCLS beam passing through were investigated by analyzing speckle patterns produced pulses. high contrast 0.69 found, indicating feasibility based experiments line.
Abstract The subsurface exploration of other planetary bodies can be used to unravel their geological history and assess habitability. On Mars in particular, present-day habitable conditions may restricted the subsurface. Using a deep mine, we carried out program extraterrestrial analog research – MINe Analog Research (MINAR). MINAR aims carry scientific study test instrumentation designed for surface by investigating geology, whilst establishing potential this technology has transferred...
The X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy instrument (XCS) at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is a dedicated using coherent x-ray scattering techniques to investigate dynamics in condensed matter systems. XCS can probe both slow and ultrafast on lengthscales of interest. It employs an extensive suite instrumentation tailor LCLS beam properties experimental requirements. Results demonstrating full transverse coherence are presented.
Sub-picosecond timing jitter is demonstrated for 5 GHz, <10 ps optical pulses generated from monolithic passively mode-locked quantum dot lasers. Their low cost, compact size and DC-biased operation make them ideal high speed interconnects.
