High-Power Laser Pump-Probe Experiments At The Linac Coherent Light Source
Glenzer, Siegfried.
The Matter in Extreme Conditions end station at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is a new tool enabling ultrafast pump-probe measurements of laser-matter interactions. This instrument combines the worlds brightest x-ray source, the LCLS x-ray beam, with high-power lasers consisting of two nanosecond Nd:glass laser beams and a 25 TW short-pulse Ti:sapphire laser. These lasers produce short-lived states of matter with high pressures, high temperatures or high densities whose properties are... Show Full Abstract
The Matter in Extreme Conditions end station at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is a new tool enabling ultrafast pump-probe measurements of laser-matter interactions. This instrument combines the worlds brightest x-ray source, the LCLS x-ray beam, with high-power lasers consisting of two nanosecond Nd:glass laser beams and a 25 TW short-pulse Ti:sapphire laser. These lasers produce short-lived states of matter with high pressures, high temperatures or high densities whose properties are investigated with highly accurate x-ray measurements. Here, we report on new results using x-ray imaging, diffraction, and scattering that resolve the short-pulse laser beam propagation and heating of matter. Show Partial Abstract
