Stanford picosecond FEL center

摘要

Abstract: The Stanford Picosecond FEL Center will provide intense picosecond optical pulses at wavelengths tunable from 1.5 $mu@m to 15 $mu@m. The ability to deliver picosecond pulses at wavelengths throughout the vibrational IR makes the Center's superconducting linac-driven FEL a powerful tool for studies of ultra-fast phenomena in molecular systems. In addition, the planned installation of a synchronized picosecond visible laser system will permit a variety of two-color experiments. Special efforts are being made to increase the cost-effectiveness of the FEL facility through the development of standardized optical setups.!11
