Here's an overview of how the Navy's free
electron laser works.
Not exact matches
Because a
laser works by forcing
electrons to jump between energy states, better confinement translates to a more efficient
laser — one that fits in your living room instead of a physics lab.
Building on a 1981 proposal by three Russian theorists and more recent
work that brought that proposal into the realm of possibility, the team first fired two
lasers at hydrogen atoms inside a chamber, kicking off
electrons at speeds and directions that depended on their underlying wave functions.
«Right now we are
working on improving the time resolution with various experiments with XUV light, for instance for free
electron lasers.
These accelerators
work by shooting pulses of intense
laser light into plasma to create a wave rippling through the cloud of ionised gas, leaving a wake of
electrons akin to those that form behind a speedboat in water.

The current focus of his
work is finding ways to apply new methods to multiple modes of data collection, from X-ray diffraction to cryo -

How it
works: An initial
laser pulse triggers a reaction in a sample that is followed an instant later by an
electron pulse to produce an image.
Marco Cammarata (ESR main supervisor) has developed time - resolved solution scattering to follow protein structural change in solution and has
worked at the world first Hard X-ray beamline (XPP) at a Free
Electron Laser (LCLS).
