Focal Spot and Wavefront Sensing of an X-Ray Free Electron laser using Ronchi shearing interferometry
Abstract
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is an X-ray source of unmatched brilliance, that is advancing many scientific fields at a rapid pace. The highest peak intensities that are routinely produced at LCLS take place at the Coherent X-ray Imaging (CXI) instrument, which can produce spotsize at the order of 100 nm, and such spotsizes and intensities are crucial for experiments ranging from coherent diffractive imaging, non-linear x-ray optics and high field physics, and single molecule imaging. Nevertheless, a full characterisation of this beam has up to now not been performed. In this paper we for the first time characterise this nanofocused beam in both phase and intensity using a Ronchi Shearing Interferometric technique. The method is fast, in-situ, uses a straightforward optimization algoritm, and is insensitive to spatial jitter.

Figures / Tables:
Figure 1.: Conceptual sketch (not to scale) of the setup. The period of the Ronchi grating is chosen such that order +1 and −1 do not overlap, while maintaining as large an overlap between order 0 and the first orders. Only the 0 and +1 orders are shown for clarity.
