Third-generation synchrotron radiation

Double-axis topography can be used at the two extremes of crystal perfection. On the one hand it can be used to probe the long-range lattice strains in very highly perfect crystals. On the other, it can be used to reveal contours of equal misorientation in much less perfect materials. As we will see in Chapter 10, it is widely used at synchrotron radiation sources and with the very large power loading in the white beam of third-generation synchrotron radiation sources. It is... 

The PD-PI method [49,50,55] for primary photoproduct structure identification would also benefit from a higher flux of tunable VUV radiation offered at a third-generation synchrotron radiation facility, such as the ALS. The high VUV photon fluxes allow the extension of measurements for molecular systems with lower photodissociation cross sections than those for organosulfur compounds. We have constructed a multipurpose photoionization, photoelectron, and photodissociation apparatus at ALS to take advantage of the high flux (10 photons/s at 2.2% bandwidth) and high resolution (A2 = 0.01 A) of the VUV radiation available at the...

At present FELs with output powers of several kilowatts in the infrared and several watts in the visible have been realized. The Stanford FEL reaches, for example, 130kW at 3.4 p.m, whereas from a cooperation between TRW and Stanford University, peak powers of 1.2 MW at A. = 500 mm were reported. There are plans to build FELs that cover all wavelengths in the UV down to lOnm. The spectral brilliance of these sources will be three to four orders of magnitude higher than the advanced third-generation synchrotron radiation sources. More details can be found in the literature [5.208-5.211].
