Mutually phase-stable tunable attosecond soft X-ray attosecond pulses from a free-electron laser

River Robles, Kurtis Borne, Mathew Britton +16

We demonstrate the production of mutually phase-stable attosecond X-ray pulse pairs with tunable relative time delays and phases in a cascaded X-ray free-electron laser. We showcas…
