adaptive, minimally invasive and flexible solutions
for tailoring properties of synchrotron radiation to the specific needs of the experiment
WaveGate enables tailoring of the temporal synchrotron pulse structure on a broad timescale ranging from few hundred nanoseconds to seconds.
The PicoSwitch is a photo-acoustic Bragg switch capable of shortening the x-ray pulse duration to 5-10 ps. The device works best at higher repetition rates due to the limited diffraction efficiency. However, measurement of coherent lattice dynamics in thin film hetero-structures was demonstrated already at a repetition rate of 1 kHz.

The NanoGate pulse picker employs laser-generated thermal transient gratings to isolate single x-ray pulses from a continuous incident pulse train. We aim to develop this method for a broad energy range (50 eV – 20 keV) and for large energy bandwidth (e.g. undulator pink beams).
Tailored X-ray Products is a joint StartUp project of Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung IKZ and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY.
Together we strive for excellence in science. We measure our products against the high standards of beamline components.
