  The hard X-ray free electron laser at Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL-XFEL) achieved saturation of a 0.144-nm free electron laser (FEL) beam on November 27, 2016, making it the third hard X-ray FEL in the world, following LCLS in 2009 and SACLA in 2011. On February 2, 2017, a saturated 1.52-nm FEL beam was also achieved in the soft X-ray FEL line with an electron beam energy of 3.0 GeV. Finally, saturation of a 0.104-nm FEL beam was achieved on March 16, 2017 using an electron beam energy of 9.47 GeV and K = 1.87. In this paper we present the commissioning result of PAL-XFEL as well as the beamline commissioning results.

  An x-ray monochromator for a hard x-ray self-seeding system is planned at PAL XFEL to be used in a 3-keV to 10-keV photon spectral range. The monochromatization in a 5 keV to 7 keV range will be achieved by forward Bragg diffraction (FBD) from a 30-micron-thin diamond crystal in the [110] orientation employing the (220) symmetric Bragg reflection. FBD from the same crystal using the (111) asymmetric Bragg reflection will provide monochromatization in a 3 keV to 5 keV spectral range. In the 7-keV to 10-keV spectral range, a 100-micron crystal in the [100] orientation will be used employing FBD with the (400) symmetric Bragg reflection. Two almost defect-free diamond crystals in the required orientations and thicknesses are mounted in a strain-free mechanically-stable fashion on a common CVD diamond substrate using all-diamond components, ensuring radiation-safe XFEL operations with improved heat transport. We will present results of the optical and engineering designs, manufacturing, and x-ray diffraction topography characterization of the diamond double-crystal system.
