FERMI@Elettra is the new seeded free electron laser (FEL) facility under commissioning next to the third-generation synchrotron radiation facility Elettra. Unique among the only five FEL sources currently operating in the ultraviolet and soft x-ray range worldwide, FERMI has been developed to provide fully coherent ultrashort (10-100 femtosecond) pulses with a peak brightness ten billion times higher than that made available by third-generation light sources. FERMI@Elettra is opening unique opportunities for exploring the structure and transient states of condensed matter, soft matter and low-density matter using a variety of diffraction, scattering and spectroscopy techniques.
Photon source
|
A linear accelerator is used to generate a relativistic electron beam that can be injected into each of two separate FEL lines, configured as single- and double-harmonic-cascade setups, respectively. An external laser is used to seed each of these lines.
