Spatial coherence of synchrotron radiation degraded by grating monochromators.

Fourth-generation synchrotron sources promise an enormous increase in the spatial coherence of X-ray radiation. In the EUV to soft X-ray range, the spatial coherence could reach almost 100% in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Identifying and understanding potential sources of degradation in the spatial coherence of X-rays transported along the beamline is critical to enable optimal performance for the experiments at the beamlines.

Statistical analysis of hard X-ray radiation at the PAL-XFEL facility performed by Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometry.

A Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometry experiment based on second-order correlations was performed at the PAL-XFEL facility. The statistical properties of the X-ray radiation were studied within this experiment. Measurements were performed at the NCI beamline at 10 keV photon energy under various operation conditions: self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE), SASE with a monochromator, and self-seeding regimes at 120 pC, 180 pC and 200 pC electron bunch charge.

High spatial coherence and short pulse duration revealed by the Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometry at the European XFEL.

Second-order intensity interferometry was employed to study the spatial and temporal properties of the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser (EuXFEL). Measurements were performed at the soft x-ray Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE3) undulator beamline at a photon energy of 1.2 keV in the Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) mode.
