Title: Ultrafast Self-Induced X-Ray Transparency and Loss of Magnetic Diffraction

Abstract

Using ultrafast ≃2.5 fs and ≃25 fs self-amplified spontaneous emission pulses of increasing intensity and a novel experimental scheme, we report the concurrent increase of stimulated emission in the forward direction and loss of out-of-beam diffraction contrast for a Co/Pd multilayer sample. The experimental results are quantitatively accounted for by a statistical description of the pulses in conjunction with the optical Bloch equations. Here, the dependence of the stimulated sample response on the incident intensity, coherence time, and energy jitter of the employed pulses reveals the importance of increased control of x-ray free electron laser radiation.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Experimental geometry for simultaneous pulse-by-pulse measurements of the transmitted and diffracted response of a Co/Pd thin film. Incident SASE pulses of ∼2.5 fs or ∼25 fs length are focused onto the sample plane and split by the sharp edge of a mirror, with one half propagating through amore » Co/Pd/SiN sample in a picture frame and the other through a pure SiN reference film for normalization purposes. The horizontal magnetic stripe domains in Co/Pd produce strong first and third order Bragg diffraction peaks on a pnCCD detector. The spatially separated undiffracted beams are allowed to propagate into a downstream spectrometer. A grating disperses the two offset beams onto a yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) fluorescence screen, yielding separate single-shot sample and reference spectra around the Co L3 resonance. The shown spectra and diffraction images are real data averaged over several pulses.« less
