"Steps Toward The Attosecond Frontier of X-ray Science"

Dr. Bill Barletta
MIT




The combination of optical manipulation of beams (OMB) and the free electron laser process offer the means to exploit rapid developments in quantum optics to enable the study of dynamical processes on timescales <10 fs. I will describe several promising approaches to OMB and their incorporation into proposed, ongoing and future projects. In particular, I will describe their application in the FERMI at Elettra project which represents a major advance in facilities for soft X-ray science. I conclude with a speculation of how all optical systems will fit into the landscape of radiation science facilities.
