FemtoMAX User Information

The FemtoMAX beamline is dedicated to time-resolved experiments.

Currently available are the following items:

• 800 nm pump laser; OPA pump 1600 nm – 400 nm; THz generated in organic crystals from either 1500 nm or 800 nm.
• 1.8-12 keV X-rays
• 80 Gs, 36 GHz oscilloscope
• <1 ps timing accuracy (jitter between laser and X-rays); 5 ps drift over 10 minutes; 500 fs post-sorting
• 10 Hz operation

Work in progress:

• Detailed Flux measurements for different photons energies
• 100 Hz operation
• Pulse duration and pulse jitter monitoring on 100 fs level.
• Extending pump and probe spectral range

We expect the typical duration of an experiment to be 2 weeks.
