New developments

Born around the turn of the new millennium, attosecond metrology has provided real-time insight into atomic-scale electron motions and light field oscillation, previously inaccessible to human observation. Until recently, this capability has relied on attosecond extreme ultraviolet pulses, generated and measured in complex vacuum systems. Next-generation attosecond metrology is now about to...
The unique capabilities of LCLS, the world’s first hard X-ray FEL, have had significant impact on advancing our understanding across a broad range of science, from fundamental atomic and molecular physics, to condensed matter, to catalysis, to structural biology. This talk will outline some of the ongoing developments at LCLS.
A major upgrade of the LCLS facility (LCLS-II project) is now...
Nowadays, free-electron lasers (FEL) are the brightest lightsources in the extreme ultraviolet and x-ray domain. The generation of multicolor multi-pulses either simultaneously or delayed with controlled frequency separation has led to experiments based on pump-probe or multiwave mixing. In addition, the generation of circularly polarized FEL light has enabled to study structural and symmetry...
