(a) Schematic of the configuration for pump–probe DFXM imaging of a strain wave used for the simulations. A crystallographic coordinate system indicates the diamond orientation. An optical laser (pump) heats a deposited Au film. This leads to thermal expansion and the launching of a strain wave (red plane) into the diamond. An incident X-ray beam (probe) is condensed into a sheet which penetrates the diamond crystal at some time delay after the laser excitation. A laboratory coordinate system (x, y, z) is defined with x, y and z parallel to the incident beam width, height and propagation direction, respectively. The diamond crystal is oriented such that the {111} planes Bragg scatter, and an objective lens is positioned in the Bragg-scattered beam. This results in a magnified image of a field of view (FoV) (white dashed lines) being projected onto the detector. The colorscale shows the photon count in a simulated image (see Section 3.2[link]). (b) The upper-left inset shows a top-down view of the setup. We assume the sample is mounted on a goniometer which can perform an ω rotation around the local diffraction vector Q and two orthogonal tilts, χ and ϕ. The angle β between the wavevector of the strain wave ksound and the diffraction vector Q is indicated. (c) The simulated 1D strain-wave profile (see Section 3.1[link]) is shown in the inset with dark dashed lines.
