Abstract
Optical pump, x-ray diffraction probe measurements have been used to study the lattice dynamics of single crystals with picosecond-milliangstrom resolution by employing a table- top, laser-driven x-ray source. The x-ray source, consisting of an approximately 30 fs, 75 mJ/pulse, 20 Hz repetition rate, terawatt laser system and a moving Cu wire target assembly, generates approximately 5 X 1010 photons (4π steradians s)-1 of Cu Kα radiation. Lattice spacing changes of as small as 1 X 10-3 Å in a few picoseconds have been detected, utilizing Bragg diffraction from GaAs single crystals. Enhancement of the diffraction intensity associated with degradation of the crystals during and after the laser irradiation has been observed, likely due to a transition from dynamic to kinematic diffraction.
