| Abstract |
The aim of the Femto-Slicing project at SOLEIL is to generate 100 fs X-rays pulses on two beamlines, CRISTAL and TEMPO in a first step, for pump-probe experiments in the hard and soft X-rays regions and possibly on two other beamlines in the future. Two fs lasers are currently in operation on TEMPO and CRISTAL for pump-probe experiments on the ps time scale enabling time resolved photoemission and photodiffraction studies. The Femto-Slicing project is based on the fs laser of the CRISTAL beamline, which can be adjusted to deliver 5 to 3 mJ pulses of 30 fs duration at 1 to 2.5 kHz respectively. The laser beam is separated in three branches: one delivering about 2 mJ to the modulator Wiggler and the other ones delivering the remaining energy to the TEMPO and CRISTAL experiments. This layout will yield natural synchronization between IR laser pump and X-ray probe pulses, only affected by drift associated with beam transport. In this paper, we present the current status of the Femto-Slicing project at SOLEIL, with particular emphasis on the characterization of the laser beam transport to the wiggler, to the CRISTAL beamline, and with the first results that will be obtained.
