Electrons in an x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) develop periodic density fluctuations, known as microbunches, which enable the exponential gain of x-ray power in an XFEL. When an electron beam microbunched at a hard x-ray wavelength is kicked, microbunches are often washed out due to the dispersion and $R_{56}$ of the bend. An achromatic (dispersion-free) bend with a small $R_{56}$ , however, can preserve microbunches, which rotate to follow the new trajectory of the electron bunch. Rotated microbunches can subsequently interact in a repointed undulator to produce a new beam of off-axis x rays. In this work, we demonstrate hard x-ray multiplexing in the Linac Coherent Light Source hard x-ray undulator line using microbunch rotation through a $10 μ rad$ first-order-achromatic bend created by transversely offsetting quadrupole magnets in the FODO lattice. Quadrupole offsets are determined analytically from beam-matrix theory. We also discuss the application of microbunch rotation to out-coupling a cavity-based XFEL.
