LCLS Laser Capabilities
Experimental Laser Operations
The LAS department supports laser systems in experimental end stations during the course of LCLS runs. These systems undergo configuration changes for every beam time with parameters often changing during the experiment itself. To meet these requirements, LAS scientists safely manage and maintain a diverse set of commercial and home-built lasers.
Pump-Probe Experiments
Many pump-probe experiments utilize a optical laser as a drive. After the laser produces a transient state, X-rays probe the sample at various time delays to resolve the dynamics.
