An electro-optical system for MAX-lab test-fel facility
To get information about arrival of the electron bunch relative to the laser pulse; electro-optic detection scheme in near-crossed polarizer configuration was set up and tested. Electron bunch induced birefringence in ZnTe crystal leaves a polarization footprint in a chirped infrared pulse. The IR pulse is sampled before third harmonic generation from the amplifier, stretched and synchronized to t
