Signal averaging x-ray streak camera with picosecond jitter

Abstract: We have developed an averaging picosecond x-ray streak camera using a dc-biased photoconductive switch as a generator of a high-voltage ramp. The streak camera is operated at a sweep speed of up to 8 ps/mm, shot-to-shot jitter is less than Ϯ1 ps. The streak camera has been used to measure the time history of broadband x-ray emission from an ultrashort pulse laser-produced plasma. Accumulation of the streaked x-ray signals significantly improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the data obtained.

“…In analogy to conventional streaking (cf. e.g., Shepherd et al, 1995;Maksimchuk et al, 1996;Murnane et al, 1990) that maps time onto distance, attosecond streaking maps time information onto energy thereby allowing to extract time information from the time-integral photoelectron spectrum with attosecond precision Drescher et al, 2001Drescher et al, , 2002Kienberger et al, 2004;Goulielmakis et al, 2004;Mairesse and Quéré, 2005;Quéré et al, 2005;Cavalieri et al, 2007;Gagnon et al, 2008;Schultze et al, 2010;Yakovlev et al, 2010). We illustrate the opportunities and challenges in extracting attosecond timing information from spectral information for the example of attosecond streaking by linearly polarized light.…”

“…Des résolutions temporelles sub-picoseconde ont été obtenues par cette approche depuis une dizaine d'années par différentes équipes [11][12][13] et des valeurs proches de 250 fs sont les meilleures performances actuelles [14][15], le plus souvent au prix d'une détérioration significative du rapport signal sur bruit. Par ailleurs, le couplage d'une caméra à balayage de fente avec un cristal a été réalisé par quelques équipes [16][17].…”

“…Frequency doubling was found to be prohibitively inefficient (15 -20 percent), possibly due to a combination of the short laser-pulse duration and KDP doubling crystal thickness. laser These measurements were obtained with the x-ray jitter-free streak camera [21]. The image shown in Fig.…”
