The visiting scientist will contribute to the development of a system that delivers few-femtosecond, tunable, UV laser pulses to an experimental interaction point. The setup couples the output of a gas-filled hollow fiber to the vacuum system of the endstation, enabling the pulses to be spectrally filtered, characterized, and transported to the interaction point without distortion. This is a key effort in enabling the execution of time-resolved measurements with ultrafast, tunable UV laser pulses, both in offline labs as well as at LCLS instruments. The visiting scientist's efforts will contribute to an ongoing R&D project within the LCLS Laser Science department to develop this capability.
