Abstract

We report in this article the experimental and numerical tools, developed at the LSAI, for a complete characterization of an X-ray laser (XRL) beam. First, a Michelson interferometer has been used to realize a Fourrier transform spectroscopy experiment. A full comprehension of the measured linewidth requires a comparaison of the XRL beam amplification in the plasma to raytrace simulation. Results of transient pumping XRL simulations are presented in this article. The last section is dedicated to a description of the XUV Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor we have developed, and to the study of the capillary discharge XRL beam.
