Abstract
A simple method for generating single-spike hard x-ray pulses in free-electron lasers (FELs) has been developed at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). This is realized by nonlinear bunch compression using 20-pC bunch charge, demonstrated in the hard x-ray regime at 5.6 and 9 keV, respectively. Measurements show about half of the FEL shots containing a single-spike spectrum. At 5.6-keV photon energy, the single-spike shots have a mean pulse energy of about 10 μJ with 70% intensity fluctuation and the pulse full width at half maximum is evaluated to be at 200-as level.Year: 2017 PMID: 29077438 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.154801
