Abstract

Thanks to an intensive technological effort in the framework of the EUFELE collaboration, the European FEL at ELETTRA was able to break the previous record for the shortest wavelength of an FEL oscillator. Novel solutions were adopted for multilayer mirrors to allow FEL operation in the wavelength region between 160 and 190 nm, which is one of the main targets of the project. The characteristics of the FEL pulses measured at 176 nm (spectral profiles, high intensity, meV bandpass, MHz repetition rate) make it a competitive light source for spectroscopy, in particular for fluorescence and Raman studies in the VUV spectral range. Proof of principle experiments have been performed on different types of silica glasses, yielding information... (More)
