One of the options for increasing longitudinal coherency of X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) is their seeding with microbunched electron beam. Several schemes leading to significant amplitude of the beam bunching at X-ray wavelengths were…

We demonstrate a hard x-ray probe of laser-aligned small molecules. To align small molecules with optical lasers, high intensities at nonresonant wavelengths are necessary. We use 95 ps pulses focused to 40 mum from an 800 nm Ti:sapphire…

Free-electron lasers (FELs) operate at wavelengths from millimeter waves through hard x-rays. At x-ray wavelengths, FELs typically rely on self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE). Typical SASE emission contains multiple temporal "spikes"…
