The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) produces typically SASE FEL pulses with an intensity of up to 5 mJ and at high photon energy a spread of 0.2% (FWHM). Self seeding with a diamond crystal reduces the energy spread by a factor of 10 to 40. The range depends on which Bragg reflection is used, or the special setup of the electron beam like over-compression. The peak intensity level is lower by a factor of about five, giving the seeded beam an advantage of about 2.5 in average intensity over the use of a monochromator with SASE. Some experiments want to scan the photon energy, which requires that the crystal angle be carefully tracked. At certain energies and crystal angles different lines are crossing which allows seeding at two or even three different colors inside the bandwidth of the SASE pulse. Out-off plane lines come in pairs, like [1 -1 1] and [-1 1 1], which can be split by using the yaw angle adjustments of the crystal, allowing a two-color seeding for all energies above 4.83 keV.

The seeding monochromator system consists of a single variable-line-spacing grating, three mirrors and an exit slit and operates in the “fixed-focus” mode to achieve complete tuning of the seeding energy in range from 200 to 2000 eV with a nearly constant resolving power of over 2x104.

A high-resolution soft X-ray seeding monochromator has been designed for self-seeding the Next-Generation Light Source (NGLS). The seeding monochromator system consists of a single variable-line-spacing grating, three mirrors and an exit slit and operates in the “fixed-focus” mode to achieve complete tuning of the seeding energy in range from 200 to 2000 eV with a nearly constant resolving power of over 2x104. The optical delay is less than 1 ps. The design is based upon a fully coherent treatment of the SASE FEL beam propagating from the upstream SASE undulator through the entire seeding monochromator system. This approach guides the design optimization in order to preserve the transverse beam profile entering the seeding undulator to ensure maximum efficiency.
