We are currently limited to a spectral range down to 750 eV, but we are developing operations at lower energies, down to 510 eV, for the future. The minimum pulse duration in standard operation is ~ 70 femtoseconds FWHM. The minimum pulse duration in standard operation is ~ 70 femtoseconds FWHM. We have developed lower current operation which is now available for users. In this low current moded pulse lengths have been shown to be less than 20 femtoseconds. We believe the pulses are much shorter more...

The world's brightest X-ray source sprang to life last week at the U.S. Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) offers researchers the first-ever glimpse of high-energy or “hard” X-ray laser light produced in a laboratory. more...

After journeying more than 100 meters through undulators and diagnostic equipment, X-rays from the Linac Coherent Light Source will wiggle into the subterranean Near Experimental Hall and, beginning in 2010, zip into the X-ray Pump Probe science instrument.

In preparation for the upcoming call for proposals to use the LCLS for XPP experiments, a workshop will be held at SLAC June 20-21, 2008 to inform future XPP users of the status of the LCLS and assist them with preparing their proposals for beam time. more...
