Time-resolved measurement of a self-amplified free-electron laser.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:803892
We report on a time-resolved measurement of self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) free-electron laser (FEL) pulses. We observed that the spikes in the output of such free-electron laser pulses have an intrinsic positive chirp and the energy chirp in the electron bunch mapped directly into the FEL output. The measurement also provides rich information on the statistics of the FEL output.
