We describe beamline ID09B at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), a laboratory for optical pump and x-ray probe experiments to 100-picosecond resolution. The x-ray source is a narrow-band undulator, which can produce up to 1 x 1010 photons in one pulse. The 3% bandwidth of the undulator is sufficiently monochromatic for most diffraction experiments in liquids. A Ti sapphire femtosecond laser is used for reaction initiation. The laser mns at 896 Hz and the wavelength is tunable between 290-1160 nm. The doubled (400 nm) and tripled wavelength (267 nm) are also available. The x-ray repetition frequency from the synchrotron is reduced to 896 Hz by a chopper. The time delay can be varied from 0 ps to 1 ms, which makes it possible to follow structural processes occurring in a wide range of time scales in one experiment. 

The nondispersive (filter-based) PAS detector consists of very similar components to the original setup used by Alexander Bell an IR light source, a chopper wheel and a measurement cell. In addition, optical filters have been added to improve selectivity, as has a pump to introduce the sample into the measurement cell. 

The instrument works in a semi-continuous way. First, the pump purges the sample lines and the measurement cell in order to flush out the old sample and bring in the new one. The valves to and from the measurement cell are then closed and measurement starts the IR source is turned on, the chopper wheel starts rotating and the microphones pick up the photo-acoustic signal. The optical filter wheel positions each of the optical filters in the light path, one after the other, until all filters have been measured. Finally the instrument calculates the concentration of each gas, the results are displayed and the whole procedure starts all over again. 

Fig. 7.2 Two-beam experimental setup for femtosecond transient absorption studies using a white light continuum. A commercially available CPA 2101 laser system delivers the pulses. Ultrashort tunable visible pulses are obtained by the NOPA optical parametric converter. A chopper wheel is used to cut every second pump pulse in order to compare the signal with and without the pump. The white light continuum is generated by a sapphire disc. The time delay between the pump and probe pulses is adjusted by the optical delay rail...

The sequence of events required for the measurement of CD by TLS proceeded as follows first, the sample was illuminated with one circularly polarized component of the pump field, the pump beam was then blocked, and the sample allowed to relax (heat dissipation). The probe laser experienced both the formation of the thermal lens (pump beam to cell) and the decay of the lens (pump beam blocked) during the two measurement cycles. During the next measurement sequence, the sample was illuminated with the other circularly polarized component, the lens measured as before, and the sample allowed to relax before the measurement cycle was begun again. As evident from Fig. 9, the chopper was designed to incorporate these various steps. In one complete revolution of the chopper, each circularly polarized component was individually passed to the sample while the other was blocked. In between these two measurement cycles, the chopper blocked both beams simultaneously to allow sample relaxation to occur. Based on thermal relaxation rates in water for this system, a modulation frequency of 2.3 Hz was used. 

The noncollinear pump-probe experiment is depicted schematically in Fig. 13. The linearly polarized (P3) pump pulse is focused (LI) into the sample producing induced transmission changes. The polarization of the probe beam is adjusted to 45° relative to the pump with a half-wave plate (A./2) and a Gian polarizer (PI). By the help of an analyzer (P2) simultaneous detection of the parallel ( ) and perpendicular ( L) components of the energy transmission T(v, to) of the probe through the sample is installed. For blocked excitation (chopper, Ch) the sample transmission...

The sample is permanently moved in a plane perpendicular to the beams in order to avoid accumulative thermal effects.

The pulsed primary beam is passed through a skimmer into the main chamber a chopper wheel located after the skimmer and prior to the collision center selects a slice of species with well-defined velocity that reach the interaction region. This section of the beam then intersects a pulsed reactant beam released by a second pulsed valve under well-defined collision energies. It is important to stress that the incorporation of pulsed beams allows that reactions with often expensive (partially) deuterated chemicals be carried out to extract additional information on the reaction dynamics, such as the position of the hydrogen and/or deuterium loss if multiple reaction pathways are involved. In addition, pulsed sources allow that the pumping speed and hence costs can be reduced drastically.
