This talk will focus on coherence properties of femtosecond fluorescence produced by pumping the transition metal elements with X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses.
When the intensity of the incident beam is sufficiently low, the fluorescence will be incoherent light. The higher-order coherence of such incoherent light, especially intensity correlation between separated positions,...
Coherent X-ray diffraction imaging (CXDI) is a powerful method for visualizing the structure of an object with a high spatial resolution that exceeds the performance of the lens. CXDI is of several types, based on the optical systems and reconstruction methods. Plane-wave CXDI, in which a coherent planar beam is incident on a sample, can be used to observe isolated objects. Nonetheless,...
We have developed and deployed CITIUS detectors for the XFEL facility SACLA and the synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8. At SACLA, we are building a 20.2 Mpixel detector system that can run at a maximum frame rate of 5 kHz. The CITIUS detectors for synchrotron radiation applications were demonstrated to operate at the maximum frame rate of 26.1 kHz at the full-image readout condition and...
