Experimental set-up for optical switching of X-ray synchrotron radiation pulses. Two crystals (C1 and C2) are located in (+,−) geometry. The picosecond laser beams are guided through a beam splitter (BS), mirrors (M) and lenses (L) onto the crystals. The throughput synchrotron radiation (SR) pulses are detected by an APD through an aluminium foil filter (F). With a high-precision diffractometer, the crystal angles are finely adjusted to have deviations of and from the Bragg angle, . The positions of C1 and C2 which satisfy the Bragg condition without lattice expansion are drawn with dashed lines. |
