(a) Sketch of the mini split–delay setup incorporated inside the DiProI end-station. (b) Photograph of the setup: the edge of the mirror M0 is used as a beam splitter and the two half-beams are recombined at the sample plane with an angle of about 6° by the mirrors M1 and M2. (c) FEL-induced reflectivity drop of SiO2, measured by pumping either with the upper-branch FEL pulse (green) or with the lower-branch FEL pulse (blue), the upper pulse arriving about 450 fs before the lower one. (d) Same as (c), with upper and lower pulses arriving simultaneously. |
