Two ways of implementing time-of-flight recording at highly repetitive photon sources. The first is based on pulse-picking in the time domain by an HF deflector (a), the second on bandpass pre-selection in the energy domain by a dispersive element (b). Electron-optical elements and ray bundles schematic. In (a) the multi-bunch train of almost-overlapping spectra [Au 4f doublet (c)] is blanked by the HF deflector so that a single spectrum (d) with larger period passes the selector aperture. Spectrum (e) with the desired resolution is gained by ToF dispersion in the low-energy drift section. In the dispersive-plus-ToF hybrid instrument (b), the hemispherical analyzer (HSA) cuts a well defined bandpass [here W 4f doublet] from the full energy spectrum (f). The transmitted energy band is precisely selected via pass energy and slit widths. This pre-selected energy band is dispersed in the ToF drift section, leading to spectrum (g). In both cases the various lens groups can project either a momentum pattern or a real-space image on the delay-line detector (DLD). Auxiliary grids (retractable) in the backfocal plane of the objective lens and in the plane of the field aperture enable precise adjustment of the lens optics.
