The generation of intense, multicolor fields in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range at Free Electron Lasers (FELs) opens new perspectives for the characterization and control of nonlinear processes in atoms and molecules. These sources can deliver pulses with the high peak intensities enabling the observation of nonlinear processes. These pulses can also be implemented in XUV-pump-XUV-probe...
The development of x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) opened up a new extreme regime of light-matter interactions and provide unique novel capabilities for studying the structure and dynamics of biological systems, complex materials, and matter under extreme conditions [1,2]. Particularly intriguing is the domain of hard x-ray wavelengths and highest available intensities, since this...
The Low Density Matter (LDM) beamline of the Free Electron Laser FERMI in Trieste has been open to Users since December 2012. Members of the atomic-, molecular-, and cluster-science community worldwide have exploited its high-intensity ultrafast pulses for spectroscopy experiments. FERMI is a seeded source, in fact the only one operating in its wavelength range (100 nm–4 nm), and this results...
X-ray free electron lasers potentially have the pulse duration and intensity to probe electron motion on the intrinsic timescales found in atoms and molecules, as characterized by the Bohr orbital period of ~150 attoseconds. While sub-orbital period dynamics for deep inner-shell electrons may still out of reach using direct time-domain probes, readily available few femtosecond x-ray pulses...
