Figure 2
Side view and laser beam path in the diffraction chamber. The sample is mounted inside a vacuum chamber on a cryogenically cooled sample holder attached to the three-circle goniometer; the detector is mounted on the 2θ arm moving outside of the evacuated chamber (not shown here). The pump laser is coupled into the chamber through a quartz window attached to the evacuated beam tube. The last lens is motorized and used for the optimization of the spatial overlap of X-ray and laser spot on the sample (lenv, lenh); the laser spot size on the sample is adjusted by the movement of the second lens (lenf). A power meter and beam profiler allow to monitor the laser beam parameters. The laser and the X-ray beams have an angular offset of ∼2°.
