(a) Overview over the timing system used for phase-controlled time-resolved coherent X-ray diffraction. The Petra III bunchclock provides a signal corresponding to the respective bunch frequency (5.2 MHz in the 40-bunch mode) as well as a variety of preinstalled integral dividers. An accurate 10 MHz signal is used in order to lock a frequency generator (SG384) to the synchrotron frequency. (b) Oscilloscope trace as taken during phase-locked SAW generation, shown here for n = 1. The rising edge of the red trace indicates the arrival of an electron bunch. Successive synchrotron pulses corresponding to the bunches (red) probe the standing SAW (pink) at a constant phase φ. |
