激光同步辐射光源是一种新型的X射线光源，它利用高强度激光与相对论电子束发生康普顿散射，从而在电子的运动方向上辐射出X射线．本文在考虑电子的反冲基础上，利用康普顿散射研究了激光同步辐射光源（LSS）辐射光子的精确波长和能量；同时发现，对于背散射情况，只有当种子激光的波长λ1大于电子的物质波波长λm时才能发生LSS辐射；最后给出LSS辐射的极值波长λ2max=h/（m0γv）和极值能量εc2max=βε3.     

惯性约束聚变软X射线在线标定系统概念设计

长期以来，惯性约束聚变（ICF）研究软X射线诊断科学仪器设备的元器件标定工作主要依赖同步辐射光源X射线辐射计量站进行。该类装置通常与用于开展ICF研究的大型激光装置分处两地，难以满足ICF研究软X射线元器件实时实地的标定应用需求。另外，由于同步辐射和ICF激光等离子体产生的X射线辐射特性存在较大差异，同步辐射计量站的标定结果事实上也不能完全反映元器件在ICF实验应用中的计量响应特性。本文首先介绍一种基于单光学元件的软X射线紧凑型无谐波光源单色化技术，以此为基础提出研制基于ICF激光等离子体X射线源的同源、同几何位形、双束比较校准的多能量通道光源单色化系统，用于ICF应用软X射线元器件的在线标定。新系统一方面可望满足ICF软X射线元器件实时实地的标定应用需求；另一方面，其提供的标定光束的技术特征将最大可能地接近ICF激光等离子体X射线辐射本身。配备相应的X射线二极管（XRD）和标准探测器之后，该系统将形成一套具有在线自校准功能的新型多通道δ能量响应软X射线能谱仪。

激光EXAFS谱仪简介

 同步辐射光源是目前世界上最好的光源,用它测量EXAFS谱自然效果极好.然而由于它设备庞大而昂贵,无法普及到一般实验室.转靶X光机比同步辐射装置要简单和便宜得多,但这种光源的性能不如同步辐射,每次实验所需时间也长得多.本文要介绍的激光EXAFS谱仪是用激光打到金属靶上所产生的X射线脉冲作为光源,并用拍照的方法记录EXAFS谱.其设备更加简单和便宜,而且测得EXAFS谱所需时间极短.当然这种方法也有它的局限性和缺点,例如一般只适用于测量较轻元素的EXAFS谱.激光EXAFS谱仪的结构如图所示.

A compact permanent‐magnet system for measuring magnetic circular dichroism in resonant inelastic soft X‐ray scattering

A compact and portable magnet system for measuring magnetic dichroism in resonant inelastic soft X‐ray scattering (SX‐RIXS) has been developed at the beamline BL07LSU in SPring‐8. A magnetic circuit composed of Nd–Fe–B permanent magnets, which realised ～0.25 T at the center of an 11 mm gap, was rotatable around the axis perpendicular to the X‐ray scattering plane. Using the system, a SX‐RIXS spectrum was obtained under the application of the magnetic field at an angle parallel, nearly 45° or perpendicular to the incident X‐rays. A dedicated sample stage was also designed to be as compact as possible, making it possible to perform SX‐RIXS measurements at arbitrary incident angles by rotating the sample stage in the gap between the magnetic poles. This system enables facile studies of magnetic dichroism in SX‐RIXS for various experimental geometries of the sample and the magnetic field. A brief demonstration of the application is presented.     

Windowless transition between atmospheric pressure and high vacuum via differential pumping for synchrotron radiation applications

A differential pump assembly is introduced which can provide a windowless transition between the full atmospheric pressure of an in‐air sample environment and the high‐vacuum region of a synchrotron radiation beamline, while providing a clear aperture of approximately 1 mm to pass through the X‐ray beam from a modern third‐generation synchrotron radiation source. This novel pump assembly is meant to be used as a substitute for an exit vacuum window on synchrotron beamlines, where the existence of such a window would negatively impact the coherent nature of the X‐ray beam or would introduce parasitic scattering, distorting weak scattering signals from samples under study. It is found that the length of beam pipe necessary to reduce atmospheric pressure to below 10 mbar is only about 130 mm, making the expected photon transmission for hard X‐rays through this pipe competitive with that of a regular Be beamline window. This result is due to turbulent flow dominating the first pumping stage, providing a mechanism of strong gas conductance limitation, which is further enhanced by introducing artificial surface roughness in the pipe. Successive reduction of pressure through the transitional flow regime into the high‐vacuum region is accomplished over a length of several meters, using beam pipes of increasing diameter. While the pump assembly has not been tested with X‐rays, possible applications are discussed in the context of coherent and small‐angle scattering.     

Ultrabroadband background-free coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy based on a compact Er:fiber laser system

We demonstrate a scheme for efficient coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy free of nonresonant background. Our method is based on a compact Er:fiber laser source. Impulsive excitation of molecular resonances is achieved by an 11 fs pulse at 1210 nm. Broadband excitation gives access to molecular resonances from 0 cm(-1) up to 4000 cm(-1). Time-delayed narrowband probing at 775 nm enables sensitive and high-speed spectral detection of the CARS signal free of nonresonant background with a resolution of 10 cm(-1).     

The Munich Compact Light Source: initial performance measures

While large‐scale synchrotron sources provide a highly brilliant monochromatic X‐ray beam, these X‐ray sources are expensive in terms of installation and maintenance, and require large amounts of space due to the size of storage rings for GeV electrons. On the other hand, laboratory X‐ray tube sources can easily be implemented in laboratories or hospitals with comparatively little cost, but their performance features a lower brilliance and a polychromatic spectrum creates problems with beam hardening artifacts for imaging experiments. Over the last decade, compact synchrotron sources based on inverse Compton scattering have evolved as one of the most promising types of laboratory‐scale X‐ray sources: they provide a performance and brilliance that lie in between those of large‐scale synchrotron sources and X‐ray tube sources, with significantly reduced financial and spatial requirements. These sources produce X‐rays through the collision of relativistic electrons with infrared laser photons. In this study, an analysis of the performance, such as X‐ray flux, source size and spectra, of the first commercially sold compact light source, the Munich Compact Light Source, is presented.

The 266-nm ultraviolet-beam generation of all-fiberized super-large-mode-area narrow-linewidth nanosecond amplifier with tunable pulse width and repetition rate

We report on a compact, stable, all-fiberized narrow-linewidth (0.045 nm) pulsed laser source emitting laser beam with a wavelength of 266 nm, and tunable pulse width and repetition rate. The system is based on all-fiberized nanosecond amplifier architecture, which consists of Yb-doped fiber preamplifiers and a super-large-mode-area Yb-doped fiber power amplifier. The fiber amplifier with a core of 50 μ is used to raise the threshold of the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) effect and to obtain high output power and single pulse energy. Using lithium triborate (LBO) crystal and beta-barium borate (BBO) crystal for realizing the second-harmonic generation (SHG) and fourth-harmonic generation (FHG), we achieve 17 μJ (1.73 W) and 0.66 μJ (66 mW), respectively, at wavelengths of 532 nm and 266 nm and a repetition rate of 100 kHz with pulse width of 4 ns. This source has great potential applications in fluorescence research and solar-blind ultraviolet optical communication.
