Direct measurement of beam size in a spectroscopic ellipsometry setup
Spectroscopic ellipsometry signals used in thin film analysis are dependent on the beam probe size. In this work, we report a technique to determine the beam size that uses the existing detection faci...

Transmissive x-ray beam position monitors with submicron position- and submillisecond time resolution
We present the development of fast transmissive center-of-mass x-ray beam position monitors with a large active area, based on a thinned position sensitive detector in both a duo- and a tetra-lateral ...

We describe a momentum imaging setup for direct time-resolved studies of ionization-induced molecular dynamics. This system uses a tabletop ultrafast extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) light source based on high harmonic upconversion of a femtosecond laser. The high photon energy (around 42  eV) allows access to inner-valence states of a variety of small molecules via single photon excitation, while the sub-–10-fs pulse duration makes it possible to follow the resulting dynamics in real time. To obtain a complete picture of molecular dynamics following EUV induced photofragmentation, we apply the versatile cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy reaction microscope technique, which makes use of coincident three-dimensional momentum imaging of fragments resulting from photoexcitation. This system is capable of pump-probe spectroscopy by using a combination of EUV and IR laser pulses with either beam as a pump or probe pulse. We report several experiments performed using this system. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
