AbstractHigh-intensity ultrashort pulses at extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and x-ray photon energies, delivered by state-of-the-art free-electron lasers (FELs), are revolutionizing the field of ultrafast spectroscopy. For crossing the next frontiers of research, precise, reliable and practical photonic tools for the spectro-temporal characterization of the pulses are becoming steadily more important. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a technique for the direct measurement of the frequency chirp of extreme-ultraviolet free-electron laser pulses based on fundamental nonlinear optics. It is implemented in XUV-only pump-probe transient-absorption geometry and provides in-situ information on the time-energy structure of FEL pulses. Using a rate-equation model for the time-dependent absorbance changes of an ionized neon target, we show how the frequency chirp can be directly extracted and quantified from measured data. Since the method does not rely on an additional external field, we expect a widespread implementation at FELs benefiting multiple science fields by in-situ on-target measurement and optimization of FEL-pulse properties.

Attosecond science opened the door to observing nuclear and electronic dynamics in real time and has begun to expand beyond its traditional grounds. Among several spectroscopic techniques, X-ray transient absorption spectroscopy has become key in understanding matter on ultrafast time scales. In this review, we illustrate the capabilities of this unique tool through a number of iconic experiments. We outline how coherent broadband X-ray radiation, emitted in high-harmonic generation, can be used to follow dynamics in increasingly complex systems. Experiments performed in both molecules and solids are discussed at length, on time scales ranging from attoseconds to picoseconds, and in perturbative or strong-field excitation regimes. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Measurement of ultrafast electronic and structural dynamics with X-rays’.

It was demonstrated that harmonic order in free-electron laser (FEL) oscillations could be switched by adjusting the dispersive gap of the optical klystron ETLOK-III in the storage ring NIJI-IV. The effective gains for the fundamental and third-harmonic FEL oscillations were evaluated and it was confirmed that the FEL oscillated at the order of the harmonic with the higher effective gain. The ratio between the effective gain for the fundamental and that for the third harmonic was controlled by the dispersive gap. It was also demonstrated that a spectral measurement of the FEL-based Compton scattering X-ray beam was effective for directly observing the switching of the harmonic order. These results contribute to the development of higher-harmonic FEL oscillations suppressing the fundamental FEL oscillation in the extreme ultraviolet and X-ray regions.
