Abstract
A self-seeded X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) is a promising approach to realize bright, fully coherent free-electron laser (FEL) sources in the hard X-ray domain that have been a long-standing issue with longitudinal coherence remaining challenging. At the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory XFEL, we have demonstrated a hard X-ray self-seeded XFEL with a peak brightness of 3.2 × 1035 photons s–1 mm–2 mrad–2 0.1% bandwidth (BW)–1 at 9.7 keV. The bandwidth (0.19 eV) is about 1/70 times as wide (close to the Fourier transform limit) and the peak spectral brightness is 40 times higher than in self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE), with substantial improvements in the stability of self-seeding and noticeably suppressed pedestal effects. We could reach an excellent self-seeding performance at a photon energy of 3.5 keV (lowest) and 14.6 keV (highest) with the same stability as the 9.7 keV self-seeding. The bandwidth of the 14.6 keV seeded FEL was 0.32 eV, and the peak brightness was 1.3 × 1035 photons s–1 mm–1 mrad–1 0.1%BW–1. We show that the use of seeded FEL pulses with higher reproducibility and a cleaner spectrum results in serial femtosecond crystallography data of superior quality compared with data collected using SASE mode.
