TL;DR: In this paper , a thin-film postcompression technique has been used to reduce the pulse duration in PW-class lasers, increasing the peak power by using a roller mechanism capable of up to 6 passes through a sub-millimeter thermoplastic film.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Single-pulse Laue diffraction, stroboscopic data collection and femtosecond flash photolysis on macromolecules
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the time structure of synchrotron radiation and its use for fast time-resolved diffraction experiments in macromolecular photo-cycles using flash photolysis to initiate reaction.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Characterization of a minute hard x-ray source driven by a relativistic wavelength-cubed laser
TL;DR: In this paper, tightly focused ultrashort-pulse light efficiently drives a hard x-ray source with 9mum size enabling imaging of small features using indigenous electrons in Mo and Au/Si.
