Ultrafast optical lasers play an essential role in exploiting the unique capabilities of recently commissioned X-ray free-electron laser facilities such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Pump-probe experimental techniques reveal ultrafast dynamics in atomic and molecular processes and reveal new insights in chemistry, biology, material science and high-energy-density physics. This manuscript describes the laser systems and experimental methods that enable cutting-edge optical laser/X-ray pump-probe experiments to be performed at LCLS.
超快光学激光在利用诸如直线加速器相干光源(LCLS)等最近启用的X射线自由电子激光设施的独特功能方面发挥着至关重要的作用。泵浦-探测实验技术揭示了原子和分子过程中的超快动力学,并在化学、生物学、材料科学和高能密度物理学方面揭示了新的见解。本手稿描述了能够在LCLS进行前沿光学激光/X射线泵浦-探测实验的激光系统和实验方法。
