Figure 2
Diagram showing the simulation procedure. Random points are chosen from the temporal profile (such as ti and tj) of the photon pulse (a). When an electron is created at a particular point of the profile an energy value (such as Ei or Ej) from the spectral distribution is assigned to it (b). Combining the energy values from all the created photoelectrons provides the streaked and non-streaked energy spectra (c1 and c2, respectively). Deconvolution of these two gives the r.m.s. duration of the photon pulse. |
