T1 - A new concept for temporal gating of synchrotron X‐ray pulses Y1 - 2021-02-05 VL - 28 IS - 2 SP - 375 EP - 382 JF - Journal of Synchrotron Radiation DO - 10.23689/fidgeo-4395 PB - International Union of Crystallography N2 - A new concept for temporal gating of synchrotron X‐ray pulses based on laser‐induced thermal transient gratings is presented. First experimental tests of the concept yield a diffraction efficiency of 0.18%; however, the calculations indicate a theoretical efficiency and contrast of >30% and 10−5, respectively. The full efficiency of the pulse picker has not been reached yet due to a long‐range thermal deformation of the sample after absorption of the excitation laser. This method can be implemented in a broad spectral range (100 eV to 20 keV) and is only minimally invasive to an existing setup.
