| Popis: | Since it began operations in 2009, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) has opened a new and dynamic frontier in terms of light sources and their associated science [1, 2]. An increase in brightness by a factor of a billion over pre-existing synchrotrons, in combination with ultra-brief pulses of coherent X-rays, is ushering in a new era in the photon sciences. Pulses with durations of 50 fs under standard conditions and below 10 fs with a reduced energy per bunch are possible. Over 1013 or 1012 X-rays per pulse can be generated at the upper and lower ends of the X-ray energy range of 285 eV to 9600 eV. One of the unique machine parameters is its strobe-like time structure, where single ultra-brief pulses are delivered at a repetition rate of 120 Hz. The above characteristics represent a singular environment in which to operate detectors and demand the development of a new class of high-frame-rate camera systems. |
