Description
Free Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) employs a unique FEL scheme which provides naturally synchronized X-ray and intense THz pulses, generated from the same electron bunch, enabling the performance of exciting THz-XUV pump-probe experiments.
Characterization of the spectrum has a high priority in many experiments. We have designed a spectrometer to characterize the broadband intense THz pulses. Based on the lamellar grating geometry, our home-made FTIR spectrometer operates at frequencies 0.3 - 10 THz, which covers the most efficient range of FLASH1 THz source. We present the recent results and talk about perspectives for the implementation of the spectrometer as online tool at FLASH.
