A grazing incidence x-ray streak camera for ultrafast, single-shot measurements

摘要

An ultrafast x-ray streak camera has been realized using a grazing incidence reflectionnphotocathode. X-rays are incident on a gold photocathode at a grazing angle of 20° andnphotoemitted electrons are focused by a large aperture magnetic solenoid lens. The streak cameranhas high quantum efficiency, 600 fs temporal resolution, and 6 mm imaging length in the spectralndirection. Its single shot capability eliminates temporal smearing due to sweep jitter, and allowsnrecording of the ultrafast dynamics of samples that undergo nonreversible changes.
